To be honest, neither am I anymore. Wheels are going to be powder coated a deep gunmetal, and the grille bracket will most likely be painted black. Glad you like it though! The seibon hood fit like a charm, my only complaint was that I had to do some serious filing to get the nozzles to fit... freaking scratched the around around there once or twice too FML.

you know that the grills are worth aome serious $$$.

If you are going for a different look I'd buy some grill and paint them. The RS2 grills are getting harder and harder to find

oh yeah buddy i'm well aware, I kept my RS2 grilles and just straight up replaces them with an awesome powdercoated set from figure grilles. I was going to put them on eBay, but I think im going to hold on to them.

Thats cool buddy. I'd just be sad to see them get painted. I almost did the exact same thing. I was going to go with dark (gunmetal, blacketc) rims and I wanted to paint the girll frame to match. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it

yeh i've decided to go with the whole black and blue theme, as most RS2's do. The Chrome-ish release series grille just didn't look right with the hood to me.

Nice RS man! The stance/wheel combo is pretty unique for an RS2. Are you using spacers? or is that just the wheel offset?

^I forgot the wheels are dual pattern, damn that sucks, which is I prefer a wheel with single pattern. Many cars are making the move to a 114.3 spacing.
