Not really feeling any of 'em, they just don't flow with the rest of the car.. what I would do is stick with the headlight adapters and retrofit the UCF20 grill into your original UCF10 frame, like someone else on this board did.

Sorry for steering away from the topic.

can you go with the MB style grill without the center strip of chrome?

idk, th admiration for the 2nd gen looks awesome but the one u have seems REALLY small

maybe its because of ur wald grill extension?

I like both. What is good with the 2nd one is that the horizontal and vertical lines or similar to the bumper lines. Can you put a black mesh behind it so you can hide the fan and so forth?

I would have removed the center stip awhile ago but its all one peice metal, besides the center strip matches the kit in my garage...

idk about it being small, its definetly authentic though...

sorry I should have noted the admiration DOES NOT have the wald grill adapter on, I have to chop up a couple extra brackets to make it fit properly with the adapter.

another badass idea, thanks I will probably do that!

I agree the admiration kind of resembles the legend style with its thicker upper portion but the metal itself distinguishes it too me.

thanks jcrome!

keep em coming guys.

What wheels are those? I love 'em. If I had to choose between the two grills, I would go for the second one, unless you can cut off the center chrome line on the first one...looks way too much like a mercedes.
