The only thing that matters is that you like it. I'm just a fan of things flowing together. IMO, when you look at the car it doesn't flow well together.

love it PD! i notice you have a JDM front bumper? or was the side markers simply deleted? the smoked out fogs are a nice touch, almost hiding it from view.

Have been working on a little project, a local shop and I have been working on a grille for my LS. This is just a test fit before final fitment, so there is still a little bit of tweaking to do here and there. Let me know what you guys think!

nice alternative to the adhesive chrome trim option and probably more sturdy. i would spray the top most gap black to be more consistent with the rest of the openings.

Prototype, more tweaking to be done as I stated...

That is actually part of the plan as well, blacking out the upper section. The way the OEM insert was designed and attached, it was tricky getting something to work just right.

So I got bored and made a Kazz Sports grille look alike (based off of Jspec603's grille), just to see how it'd look. Figured I'd share with you all.

This is the Kazz Sports grille in its natural habitat:

Ok, so we finished the grille! I blacked out the top of the trim frame with black epoxy paint then fitted the revised version of the grille. Here's a bunch of photos of the different angles, some close ups and far away shots.
