Finally had the time to install the grill. Sorry car is dirty and it's an iphone pic, but I figure some people might be interested in the final product of a color match surround and ebay grill. I have mixed feelings about the grill, maybe I just have to get use to it...took me better half of the day to get it to fit right.

Dude...Paint those horns. That looks terrible. Looks cheap.... Emblems too small also. The positive is that the surround looks good....

I like the paint job on the grill, turned out good for a spray can. But I agree with the rest, the blue horns look a little to distracting and the emblem looks really dinky. I really like the original idea you had with the off centered emblem. But if you like the set up that's all that matters.

^^^I felt my car is not aggressive enough for a side emblem, might remove the emblem all together. no love for hella horns, anywho they work great made this biker run into the curb when I unleashed it...how dare you ride out of the bike lane.

That wasn't very nice. I'm a cyclist more than I am a car buff and had to get out of the lane just for a bit because of trash in the lane. I got buzzed by a car as well as cussed at and I ended up crashing. I went too close to the curb, hit it and got thrown into traffic. Damaged my body and my bike. Good thing I had my helmet on because I could have suffered major head injury. Of course it didn't matter to them, though. They didn't come back to help. Others stopped though..I didn't want to move because my bones hurt so much. So I just laid there until I can get to my phone.

But I guess it was my fault for trying to avoid garbage.....

I was like "horns?" What are those? I've never heard of that. Then I realized you all were actually talking about the horns. Ohhhh...you mean horns!

I agree the emblem is too small. Next time go OEM or non at all.
