nevermind figured it out was quite simple.

unfortunately the jdm grill didn't fit nearly as well as I hoped.
it looks crooked and there is no way to fix it.

it's the kindv thing that might very well drive me crazy.
what do ppl think?

Got an up close shot of the crookedness you're talking about or can someone point it out perhaps? Or are you talking about the flushness?

I'll take a close up pic so it's easier to see.
basically if you look along the bottom ridge it looks like it slopes up slightly from the passenger side to the driver side so the driver side is slightly higher.

it could just be me seeing things tho heh.

I did want to put a nice matte black or carbon fiber logo on but I'm not sure if they make one that will attach properly and look good.

if anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome.

I'm going to get the window trim rewrapped with vinyl as well as the chrome trim surrounding the headlights and when that is done I'll post some more pics.

I found a bunch of cool black pearl emblems on eBay but the all attach with the clips and washers and that wont work on this mesh grill I need one that doesn't have the long clips just a flat back with adhesive so it can lie flat on the mesh grill and be glued on.
