oh no...it's something different!!! die! J/K, I think it looks pretty good. If it was all painted the same color, the lines would probably blend a little better. For some reason I think lowering would really help it.

I didn't think that could work like that. It looks ok, I prefer that over not having any gfx at all.

maybe fab up some billet or mesh to go in the gap?....then get a matching part for the grille....if it was easy enough to do, I'd do it

Not bad, but screams "aftertought".

It just looks like someone tacked that on, it does not blend in to well.

it does look better than no GFX at all and it would look pretty good if ya bondo-ed up or do something with the dashed gaps there in the nose to make it look more like a Z front. What were those things for anyway?
