I like the grill and the exhaust isn't bad either. Maybe space the wheels out a little more and you're good.

I love the hat the most

I think if you had a bonnet emblem, ala Bentley's etc, it would flow really really well with your grille.

I was thinking the same thing. A hood ornament will complete the front end (except you run the risk of someone just yanking that off of there ). And yeah the exhaust tips do look a little too large for the car. I think asize smaller and in oval will compliment the set up more.

Great work! If you could just get rid of the middle bar (Benz look alike). Even still I'd drive it.

gee wizz!!! thank you guys sooooooo much for the barrage of feedback. it means a lot!

but yeah... i have my thoughts about the grille as well but as someone said somewhere we really dont have that many options as far as affordable aftermarket support is concerned and i'm not in the position to dish out $500+ on a Fabulous (pun intended) grille. i may end up selling this after i fabricate one with my old OEM shroud but until i get off my *** and do so I'll be stuck with this.

as far as spacing out the wheels a tad. i may never do it with these wheels unless i get a smaller tire. and the wheels are but a mere 18x8 +38 (with a 25mm spacer = +13) & +26 (with a 15mm spacer = +11).
i'd love to run a 205 or 215/40 all the way around but i feel it'll make the wheel look even SMALLER in width than they already are

my hope is to sell these and get something with a more desirable width. in possibly +10 for the front and +8 for the rear and THEN i'll take upon the roll of Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic... (King of the Woooooooooorld!)
