Default A few little changes completely change the whole look of the car

Finally got the new headlights in. I know all of you hate them, but I like them so get over it Also, got the windows tinted finally after months of wanting to.



Then I decided to go with the anti bling grill. Really easy decision to make because I hate a lot of chrome. Just not my taste. And I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I'm going to keep the "L" chrome for a while and decide if I want that black too. But right now I'm liking it how it is.



A few cheap-ish mods make a huge difference I think.

I think the blacked out grill approach actually makes the headlights look better (not a fan of them otherwise). Good call.

The grille does look nice, like a Vertex edition grille.

Looks great if you ask me! I'm digging the grill. It's a nice flow into the headlights forsure.

How is the light output for the headlights? I heard they are really bad.

From the front angle, I really like the headlights...from the side angle, i am indifferent, but I give it the thumbs up. The grill really does bring it all together.
