i'd get rid of the grille, tail lights, and those headlight "eyebrow" things. otherwise, clean ride.

What's wrong with the grille? That's a stock EUDM, and fairly rare in the states. I'd probably rock one if I could find one. I think NOFX had one on her coupe, and it looks great.

x2 on getting rid of the taillights and eyebrows though. Other than that, I think I like it a lot.

Thanks, Vindicator. I do have one currently on my car, though I usually wear it with a painted trim instead of the chrome trim. I don't think it looked bad either way though.

Yes, those grilles came on some cars standard overseas (ie. not North America). The car's RHD, so I'd guess some part of Europe or Australia.

Cars outside of the US and Canada often seem to follow different trends. I don't see anything really wrong with this car. It's just a different style.

Welcome to the site, LsTec Junkie.

i'm just not feeling the grille. that's all. i don't really care where it came from. although, i didn't notice the RHD at first. so that's pretty cool. like i said, i like the car, too. it's clean. not a fan of bigger rims, but for some reason i'm feeling those! they fit well in my eyes. is the car lowered? it sits just right for the size of the rims.

NOFX, do you have a pic of yours? maybe i'm just not feeling the chrome. i never liked it on the usdm sedans either.
