It looks good

Judging by the way it wraps around the bumper... looks like the fitment is pretty good.

that bottom grille was a ***** to install! upper is easy. i want to keep the chrome grilles because it fits with the polished lip on the rims and around the windows. besides i wanna have a different look. i appreciate the advice and will ponder it!

Wow the grills are bright and shinny... Lol You can always paint the grill and leave the upper grill surround to match the chrome of the polished lips of the rims.

Fitment looks pretty good for a replica off of ebay.

^ Tell me how it goes lol. I want to get mine painted but the only shop I can trust to do good work is out in Palatine so I'm not too fond having to drive 50 miles one way to get my lip painted.

i know for a fact that the paint job will be perfect. my guy has done work for me before on other projects. if you need something painted let me know. i can arrange for him to do it, and you can drop it off to me at my shop.

Vertex rep....my favorite kit. Too much chrome for me, but it's your car.

Not a fan of those chrome grills, but the Vertex rep front lip is nice!
