The grille looks like it sticks out a little and that is because it does on my car. It's not from the bumper, it's from my air intakes and meth pump behind it required me to cut some tabs off. I need to push it down a little and secure it in a better way.
I have not installed the mesh yet. That will be in a week or so.

I have my tails done in a similar fashion and most people don't notice, even people on this site. No biggie, I like it so I'm happy

Maybe it's just a mid-life crisis thing
So anyway – has anyone else ordered the bumper yet?…
Don't worry Mike, 99% of women will never notice car mods unless they are big "in their face" type things.
My wife could care less about the stuff I do to my car. I always ask her opinion about things to get an outside prospective. Over time she has learned a lot and now knows what to look for and goes out of her way to talk to me about it. She doesn't like the front end either.
She liked the Impul one a lot better.

I just sent a bunch of pics to Modified because a friend of a friend knows the editor. I think with all the mods it has these days it will get a feature or cover on one of them. I'm going to send some more pics to Turbo, SCC and Import Tuner this week.
Tim, i love ur car... but honestly, i think the glossy black just can't keep up w/ur mods anymore ,if you painted it satin black you'ld get fetured a lot sooner. LaserRed w/a black roof would look CRAZY too.

and if all our chicks got together they'd all comment and compliment each other on hair and nails and shoes and **** that we don't even notice are different
Note to self: dismiss comments (or lack of) she says about the car
I do value her opinion though

Thanks caskyline and rookie!!!
I couldn’t make this up… so I was in an isolated area in an industrial complex (Sat, no business’ open) – found an empty lot that I could take pics in the sun and shade to give good perspectives of what the bumper, grille and headlights look like… this truck pulls up with a guy and chick (he must have followed me off the street becasue I was tucked way back where no-one could have driven by and seen me)... he asks me if I’m selling the car (I was taking pic so I guess he though it was for an ad)… I laughed and said no… we had a very brief exchange and when he left he said “nice car man, real nice car” Redemption from my GF comments!!! BUT guess what… the dude was like 18-20 (I guess GF is right )
Anyway – here are pics with grille on – thanks Randy!!! It’s not a emblem delete but it’s got very subtle tweaks… let me know if you can tell… also I’m posting a few of the headlight he did… the tow hook is painted black and the yellow Matic J sticker on the bottom of the radiator is gone, so the view behind the mesh is much nicer than previous pics... the whole package gives rookie’s bumper the credit it’s due… Thanks again Viet!!!

My wife is not like that at all. She is so low maintenance it is amazing she looks as good as she does! It seems like all she is into is flowers but even that is subtle most of the time. The only other thing she does like to do is buy stuff for others.
