Nam, you've lost me. I don't see any difference? Are you talking about a black grill?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the trapezoidal, originally chrome, piece surrounding the grill. I was looking into, not too bad of a look, but personally I like the chrome effect on the stock version. Just my opinion... car still looks fresh with the black though.

I agree that it looks nice, but not quite my style. I like the chrome look too.

When I stop in for dinner on Sunday night, you should check out the tint on my car. It is what you need if you're blacking out the grill. I think you should do it all the way blacked out now.

Cheers!

That's what i'm going for, i'm planning on tinting my windows also, but i don't know if i should go as dark as 20, maybe 30 or 25 all around, the way i drive, i should have clear enough windows to look out for cops.

i just got my tint done, 20% and i love it. it's really not THAT dark (especially consider those folks out there that go for the 5%).

personally I got medium tint all the way around... (best window tint in tustin, CA) not only does it give me UV protection, it allows everyone on the outside to see who's riding in one of the freshest rides on the streets...

Nam,

I was very happy with 20%. I'd go darker if I didn't think that it would cause a greater likelihood of being pulled over. I'm about as light as I would like from tinted windows. The car would look very good with 15% all around and blacked out like yours. Maybe 5% on the rear???

I got the okay to spend some change in December on my car, so lots will happen before 2007!

Cheers!

Nam are you going for the euro plate look next? Or are you going to keep it clean?
