Default How do they look?

I just did a quickie using MS Paint. I removed the top and the bottom bar of the OEM Grille. Trying to see how it'd match up with the Nismo front that I should be receiving soon. My car is also red. Disregard the HRE wheels, not my cup of tea h:

looks like a waste of effort for something that doesn't look so good.

Leave the grille alone.
Use gloss black mesh in the bumper openings.

Oh well, I didn't think it'd look nice at first since some guy did the custom mod. But for some reason, it grows on me, that's why I wanted to see how would it look on my car.

Shawn - I'll use the back mesh. I'm not skilled enough to photoshop it, if someone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

HRE's and a fairly substantial FMIC.

Leave the grill stock, and don't use that gutter shit in the bumper holes....and you'll be good to go.

Oh, and get some HRE's.

Hahaha, good idea. But I don't want the HREs. Too expensive for me. These Racing Hart J5 pro v2 would do me fine

Those wheels are decent, but I'd go with a thicker spoke. h:

And that rear bumper's paint doesn't match worth shit. Fawkin white. :exnbp:
