Default You Tell Me

I don't think I like the grilles. I just have them sitting in there for the pic. 2nd pic is from their website. They are nicely made. Just don't like the look. Your opinions?

They are definitely different than what you normally see, but I kind of like the original style better.

I don't like them even a little bit. If it were my car, I'd just say no.
