Default New front end look

I got tired of seeing the eye-sore of an ss bumper on the front, the paint didnt match perfect, and it was cracked and pitted bad, went back to the stock bumper, new bottom valance and spoiler, and new top pad. painted the valance black, and i cant be more happy with it.

What SS did you have? Curious I just got mine and it is a glass one to save money. Figure it should look good for 2-3 years atleast.

the fiber glass one, it was painted bad, and went to ****, to have it redone properly it would have cost some coin, i went with $120 in parts off amazon, and looks better in my opinion.

I think if you were to replace the grill with a chrome one it would look awesome. but dont look bad by anymeans.

chrome would have looked cleaner, but the black looks agressive.
