Well here's another attempt at a teaser. Tinted the fogs and blacked out the strip of chrome above the grill (springs and struts go in next week!)

Blacking out the chrome really made a huge difference bringing your grille and hood together. Nice job on the diy grill. The tinted fogs are tight too! I'm really liking those rims.

Also my mike t grille was trashed a few weeks ago, are you thinking of mass production?

maybe u should smoke ur headlights slightly
even a slight darkening will make it look 100x better imo
its just that the headlights stand out a bit
otherwise looks nice

Looks good man.
I would tint the front headlights also, to match everythin'
The chrome in the headlights is kind-of throwin' the whole front end slightly off, IMO.

i was thinking about it... but is that something i should have professionally done? i feel like i wouldn't be able to get it even if im making it a light smoke plus the headlights r more important than anything else so yeah

I don't have a gen 2 so idk if this would work or not but could you open up the headlights and paint the chrome parts of it black? I agree that headlights are most important and if tinted, it should be very light.

if i attempted that im pretty sure i would want a spare set of headlights.... and they aren't cheap hahah oh well... we'll see what the future holds

idk if i would wanna try that or this:

I think painting the chrome black is a better idea cuz it won't really affect light output... either way i have a broken tab on my passenger headlight so ill probably end up buying a new one and messing with the old one eventually

GREAT job on the Grill. I'd buy one from you, if you decided to produce more.
