A word of advice from someone who made many mistakes at the age of 16, think about what your doing, take everything slow(especially if you think you know what your doing)

Your car is yours, if u want it to look the way you want it, ignore us.

If you want it to look the way we want it, ask us. just dont feel bad if we say it stinks.

and to be quite frank, see-through grills are ugly cuz they look like u broke the grill and tried to fix it with chicken wire.

I dont think it looks that bad. However up close the material looks kind of weak so i think if it got hit with a rock or something it would leave a pretty big dent or maybe go right through it. So its probably not very practical if u ask me. A for effort though!

ohhhhh, my bad!!!! what a good boy for wanting to learn!!!



heh...


try telling that to the highway patrol... or your parents when you total your car (if you dont die)...


if you care about school that much, dont be late in the first place, and if you are, just get there when you get there... it wont be as bad as when you crash or get a ticket and be even LATER!


also, since you are 16, you've been driving around 6 months... not enough experience to be going so fast...

i think it looks horrible. its not straight, its so flimsy that its wavy.. the pict shows that perfectly.. plus, you have to realy realy stare at it to even see it... you can see way too much off the engine bay... washing it and getting bugs out and it looks like it will just fall out... looks very very very cheap IMO... TBH, if they say they like it, they are just being nice.... not tryin to be mean, but this just dosent look good...

eh, sorry man. goto ebay or something and get a grille, dont try to make your own...thats the product you get when you do. You've got a nice car, dont make it look like crap. Invest into it, if ya dont got the money. Wait till you do. Just my opinion. Sorry bro.
