Looks great Canadian Bear. So fresh and so clean. (yes)

Thanks man. Sadly, there are so many rock chips, dents, scratches, etc., that take away from the clean look. I do take pride in keeping her clean, but having a colour like mine will be challenging and the future may hold a new paint job.

Is it me or does the grill no fit right? Also are you goign to get the skirts and lip painted black to match the front lip or to match the car?

yeah that's what happens when you try to install a grille made for the MP3/MSP/Protege5 on a normal sedan.
 
yeah scuzzer dat grills killing you. u cud paint the chrome or silver portion on ur oem grill black like in my avatar. will look alot better since black seems to be ur accent color.

I was going to silver to match the car.... but I thought it would look too normal, so, I am going to go black. I know about the grill, I bought it off of ebay like 4 months after I bought the car new in '03, and put it on, closed the hood & CRACK, it broke. I e-mailed the company (from Taiwan) and the basically told me I had an aftermarket bumper & to F-off! So after spending like $120 I just left it. I am looking at a CF hood, with silver side, so I might put the original grill back on, or a CF grill to match the hood. BUT definately black for sides & rear. Thanks for all the help to everyone!

Really? Damn. That sucks :(

Now that I think about it, I was always planning the swap so I never looked for an aftermarket sedan grill.
 
I just missed out on getting one before my car went into the body shop. Now it will have to wait a few months, until I can convince myself to part with it for a few days again. I hate putting my car in the shop. It was supposed to be ready Saturday night, and the latest ETA is tomorrow after work :(
