LOL, Denis, you're the man! I have a friend just like you when it comes to car stereo diy work. Clean work that looks factory. Good stuff.

I like the new grill so much that I ordered one from adamesh. It came today too! Already painted. Cant wait to install it later.

I like the RX7 pic too. I used to drive a MKIII Supra Turbo. Here are pics of my Supra and my current X.

yeah, you give them the paint code from inside the door. I didnt do a price comparison with mina because I liked the convenience of having it already painted.

This is a pic of my extensive upgrade project, LOL. I'm not mechanically inclined like Dennis, but thankfully the grill job is only remove and replace!
