My newest mod: additional cooling air intake

Before:



After:



I was at my new employer today for acceptance and sign-off on my new job offer and this.

Courtesy of some nimrod in a commercial 3/4 ton who 'didn't think there was anything behind me'. Too bad he didn't hit dead center - it'd look like a feature.

So, cash out and get an aftermarket nose? OE? Hmmm...

Well that sucks...beats the keying I got today.
At least (I presume) someone else is paying to fix yours.
I would go 'after market' if you plan to keep her a while but OE if your not sure.

I could even slap the license plate bracket and a maple leaf flag plate on the front and pocket the whole claim.




























not...
