Default BLITZed

not that I didn't like my fellow Soarers I decided to finally put on the Blitz grill that I got from good 'ole Henry...as many of you know I was in need of some fresh paint and repair work on my front bumper anyway....NOW I'm ready for the SC Meet! just need some clean up work on the paint and a fresh detail

The typical DRSupra......Always trying to stay one step ahead of the competition and always different. But sooner or later, someone will catch up to ya. Hopefully, not for a while.

The new grill looks great but I'll stick to my soarer look. At least you don't have to worry about me.

DRSupra, you'll always be my hero for the SC430, bro. Cause after seeing your Soarer for the very first time, that inspired me to get mine.

BTW, I like your "kiku". I just got my "agemaki".

Why does it look to me that the Blitz grille just doesn't fit the car properly? It seems 'recessed', has an unsightly gap above, and the slats don't seem to go with the car's lines. Or maybe it looks much better in the flesh. Yeah, that's it.

I think it is probably because of the color and angle. It will takes some time to get used to the new look.

Just my opinion...that Blitz grill looks better in darker color sc especially you also have the surrounding chrome pieces painted into the same color.

It may be that the hood is out of alignment with the left (right in the picture) headlight assembly. If you look at the gaps for the line that runs from the headlight to the grill and topped by the hood they are not straight. Sorry to be so picky.
