My new car draws quit a bit of attention from strangers. Unfortunately one of those strangers was Officer Moritz!

Default New Front End Look

Decided to do something about the Grille. At first I was going to put in a mesh insert, but after prepping it I decided I didn't like it. I decided to just black everything out and go naked. So far I like it.

IMO, lose the leaper.

However, if you like thats all that matters.

Enjoy!

The Leaper came with it. Would have to have a body shop plug the hole and paint. Not worth it. But thanks for the opinion!

I've had my 05 almost a year and I agree, lots of looks but mainly from older black women and middle aged Mexican men! I don't mind, it's a thumbs up from me every day I drive it.
