It's your car, no slam but they do nothing for me. Sorry but you did ask.
I can only say this, many people will give you a thumbs up and most will be honest but some won't be honest just courteous, most won't comment negatively, but if you ever need an honest critique you know where to come. That is a positive thing. I also know many people only want to hear good and positive feed back.. I would want to know what others think, both positively and negatively, if I asked " What do you think"

I LOVE THEM - now question- were they difficult to install and was the fitment good? I've heard from another Forum member who has them that they were difficult to install due to the fitment. Where did you get yours - maybe it's a different source.

When I first saw these I didn't like them. But they are growing on me. I
bought a set from a guy on ebay that only has 4 grill pieces which are
wider than yours. Heres what they look like;

I never did care for these grills. I do seem to like them more on your car however. Maybe it is just the pics. Either way glad you like them. I do appreciate when people try to do things out of the ordinary to personalize their car.
