to be honest i dont like it. doesnt flow with the car. you need a more aggressive body kit to pull that off. it be like putting a giant wing on the back of an otherwise stock looking car. its just not balanced.

I hear what ur sayin scott but to me it looks good either way.

I think it would be alot sexier if it didnt stick out so much ya know

Im waiting on a response from Oratao to see how much for the fff then we will see what i go with.

The plus side of the fff is that it will only have to be just painted

yep, and it works with your bsp grill.

Do you have a plan on how you want your car to look? do all of these pieces fit with your plan?

ya know, looking at the front of your car, i wouldbnt even get the FFF. I'd leave it the way it is. you have the black housing headlights, the black grill, i'd maybe mod the BSP grill. The FFF will take away from the clean look of the front end.

"seal off" the top groove or something like that. make it a flush grill.
