Yeah! Pics! Posh, I'm really happy you like it. You've got a sweet ride there and you don't need us to tell you that.

My personal opinion, coming from an ex-Gen 2'er for what it's worth:
- The painted frame makes the grille opening look much smaller. The frame of the grille adds lines to the front which draw attention to the small grille.
- The badge needs to go. Frankly no badge might be the best option. A rectangle badge in a grille with radiused corners looks out of place. Besides, with no red on the car, the red badge looks out of place.
- The chrome strip and painted grille frame looks confusing. Perhaps if the strip were painted also this might draw everything together. My black grille never looked right until I blacked the strip.

What's Milt's opinion on them? I might have missed it. Hope I didn't offend on my comments. Just giving my 2 centavos.

Yes, Brian you are right about the chrome strip, we had already discussed into getting it painted.... Funny thing is, this past Monday I had already ordered the strip from toyota, so we are waiting on that..... Also, the emblem is already gone..... It was just to see what it looked like...

Okay - so now looking at it in more detail, I think I'll probably go with a chrome bezel to match the trim on the hood.

I think in your case, see if you can either remove it (does it leave holes? Haven't checked?) - or get it painted to match as well.

My 2¢ - but then again, I'm not afraid of chrome like many others here are... :roll:
