Default Gfx front lip + blacked out oem grille installed

As I wait for my VOLK TE37 wheels to be powdercoated, i thought id share these pics for now.

thanks to OHIOIS350 for the sweet deal on the GFX lip
thanks to TEDWARD88 for shipping out his grille to 180 customs in New York on my behalf to get it painted. THANKS GUYS !!

had grille painted gloss black with plastisip flat black emblem
i love how the front end looks

any suggestions on side skirts (non gfx) that will match nicely with the GFX front lip?

nice work man, never was a fan of plastidipping grills but since u glossed it, it looks very clean!
Are you planning on replacing your OEM grill? I think the F sport grill will look alot better with your theme
