Custom front bar
Well, it's custom, only because I mixed it up a little, and gave it a spray here and there
What do you guys think??

So you avoided the huge temptation to remove that lower grill and bar and put a HUGE fake front-mounted intercooler down there?

Hmm, not really my taste. Make sure you clear coat that, or it will rub off on the next wax/wash.

+1. The chrome on my grill is coming off because I neglected to add clear coat. Don't let it happen to you.

It looks to be a single stage paint. How will it rub off?
