I agree!

Still debating if I want to paint it silver. Now that it's on the car, the black is growing on me. Thanks for the reply, though, homie!

All pictures are now posted!

Can't wait for mine to come in!! So semi gloss is how it looks unpainted? I was thinking of going a full black gloss, but if its decent unpainted I may just leave it.

i have mixed feelings about clear corners. i had some, then i sold them and went back to amber. recently bought some new clear corners with the bump and rocked that for 2 weeks, then i went back to amber, again.
you just need the amber corners I made they'd look hot on ur car. grille looks great, I'm kind of jealous since I spent hourssssss on mine haha

the non painted version has a black gel coat on it so it is not bare fiberglass when you receive it. while it is a nice finish, i would not recommend rocking it like this as the gel coat is somewhat thin in some areas. remember, this black gel coat is not meant to be the final finish. it is intended for paint. i will be painting mine soon.

^^^lol, it's funny how trends shift. i like it with and without the bumps. i remember when i first got the car everyone wanted an OEM grille with no bumps. not everyone wants the bumps! same with side markers, lol. everyone wanted clear, now people are shifting back to amber. etc etc, it's all good, though. at least now people have a choice.

anyway, data ftw, too! lol i'll switch back and forth every couple of weeks so i don't get bored of looking at the same thing, LOL.
