The front grill has to go imo. The last picture makes the rear look a little lower.

I hate the front grille. Looks like an old Korean style grille.

The best Carson aftermarket grille is the prussian blue. Otherwise I'd stick with OEM.

I agree with the Prussian blue grill. The lip kit is really nice as well.

Thanks for the comments, I'm not sure if I'm lowering the car yet, but if I do I might get roadmagnets. Lots of people with AWD gs are having vibration issues with the car being lowered. I will be getting wheels in the spring.
