Chrome Grill fix

These are DRL's in white and amber for turn signals as well. I'll try and get more up later but this will give you an idea.

I don't care for it, but if you like it, that's great.

This is the dry fit. It will be epic.

Like the idea. Interested in seeing it finished and what color options.

Will it allow for the front plate holder?

I'll work on it this weekend and get some more pictures up for better ideas of what it'll look like and how everything will work.

As for the license plate bracket I'm going to say it should as it'll fit exactly where the chrome piece is now.

I loved the white and black and red interior and all I could think was wow, this thing looks like a storm trooper. Well from there my mind kinda took off.

I've been working a few new designs and like it.

MODS
- Grill Delete with DRL insert
- Image Projectors - Stormtrooper head
- Door kick panel we designed with lighting (can be made in any color and design)
- Waterfall C7 flag light up
- Ambient lighting in the rear speaker compartment and footwells
- Short Throw Shifter

If you like it that is all that matters...

Personally, I think it looks really bad. Reminds me of something a high school kid would do to his Honda Civic.

Man..... The lights on the front are not good in my opinion. Makes the car look like a carved pumpkin. Looks like a face and reminds me of the Gen 2 Mazda Speed 3's smile everyone made fun of.

If you like it, awesome. I just hope this doesn't catch on and hit every forum as a WTF topic.

Would like to see video/pics in daylight. Maybe too much IMO. Try doing 1/2 the grill & black out the rest. That might look better?

Doesn't look bad, still think it's a bit too much. What's the cost? Can it be made smaller to fit just the middle portion & just black out the rest of the chrome strip?

it's 2 strips and actually is not just white. They can tie into blinkers and go amber for a blinker as well. As for doing just white mini strips for the center that wouldn't be an issue either.
