Wait to you see the black mesh grill the new yellow Box has...That would look good on yer Box...
Oh, and I think it's alright what you have done. Not sure the hole for the CAI is a good idea, you know, with water getting in there...but hey, what you like, is what you like.

I like it. Maybe you should look at the ABS grill with the projector foglights w/ halo to go with your headlights. Thats the setup I'm running and the grill comes black.

ummm.....don't like the cf hood on the hott lava.....i'm all about uniformity in color......cf wouldn't look good in my eyes on anything but an AP or FM....

Those rims are the HEAT.

I would also be concerned about water in the hood intake, but otherwise, very clean package. I'm diggin' it!

Hmm, something just isn't "right". I really like the car, but maybe the grilles and front lip should be body color?

Thanks for the compliment TJ. The longer I have that setup, the more I like it. :D
I'm diggint that CAI inlet too. But I'm also curious about the water factor.

The front lip and hood are hideous, but the grill is fresh.

Sol: your grill and headlights totally work together. Nice work.

I'd have to say the hood/lip looks good. by the way, leave your "nasty" comments to yourself. He didnt ask about the hood or lip, he asked about the grill.

I think it looks good, but if the lip isn't CF...paint it body color... The lip, hood, and color of the grill gives the car an aggressive look, though.

Dude I like it. If everyone liked the samething we would all be driving the same car. The grill looks good and with the carbon hood the black lip completes the package.

hey guys, thanks for your input. regardless of pos. or neg. input, it's all good.
it just reveals how passionate we are about our xB's, it's bout how we can be totaly dif. w/ the same bx we own.

now the vision
i'm lookin for more of an old skool "rally sport" look, kinda like the isuzu bellet gt blk/orange car that my dad owned back in late 60's. thats why there is that break in the kolor.
i would've opt. for a blk hood, but when i ran into these hood, i like the scoop (agressive look) CF hood is not my look but it looks dark enuff to get by.
since i have a CF hood now, i'm going to get the OEM grill overlayed w/ CF.
for the lip i havn't figured out how i was gonna go bout it at the time. maybe now i may go CF (to match the rear spoiler) or paint it Hot Lava to keep some of the kolor scheme.
for the "MO AIRPORT" no one has this and i like that. it sets me apart. i've seen others and there all individually diff. kool.
and for those wet days, no prob. i have the RD2051 INJEN. 2N1. plus i have a cover for the hole. (MO AIRPORT will be black soon.)
thanks once again fo yo input.

I'd just get the hood painted black instead of getting the grill CF'ed. I would also paint the front lip lava. It would look a lot less out of place.
