Well after I couldn't find a damn 13mm deep socket, I decided to put on my new grill...I don't know I think I may night shate it :P

Also not really a post your ride thing, but I had a FC high flow cat that was all ugly looking and a ford racing header that was all discoloured. fireball made them new again with a freash ceramic coat that won't discolour..apparently....too bad they go under the hood...

Looks good dude.

Okay, this is super offtopic:

Does an aftermarket shorty header really affect your stock cat?

I'm one of the lucky ones he's talking about. I've had a Focusport shorty for more than 3 years now and no problem. The lack of problems was confirmed by an emmision test too.

Tint that grille like it's... second-hand? :P

Kidding, it actually looks decent like that with the Hellas for some reason to me. I think too much of a dark front end on that car detracts from the overall look.

Awesome pictures. I want my "thumbsup" smiley... DAN!!!

I think the grille looks sweet as is. Don't night shade it. :)
