I think a black or stainless honeycomb grille would look good on these cars.

I can't imagine this looking good when it's done on any colour other than black but I'm looking forward to seeing it. Maybe it will change my mind. Good luck.

I like the clean look. I have shaved all the decals and emblems from my FA5 with only the front "H" left.

I am waiting for the Mugen stuff to arrive in the US, they have a very clean front grille that eliminates the front H.
