As per others original pics on the thread are far from appealing. limeypride's customization on the other hand is spot on and gorgeous. Then again he's a fellow geek and not afraid of PowerPoint but I'd have done it via pics imported to Visio and then made multiple layers to come up with the final chosen result.

I'm not sure myself...You can have it all black or painted any color including matching your car color.
If I’m not mistaking that’s a G-Power hood and grill. TheGreatM8 was that pic the inspiration for your G-Power hood?

Yes this was one of a few that gave me ideas for my hood and yes it is G-Power.
Glad I didnt do the grill but very happy with the hood!

The lower side grill delete would look nice, especially if there's the thicker aux coolers in place. I like that porsche has the coolers front and center on the turbo lineup.

BMW called…they’d like their car back.

That should actually be a thing in some cases…

Ruin a beautiful car with HD shopping cart parts and hub caps and have it repossessed!

Hey bro, get idea and outcome!! Looks unique. What wrap did the place use? Like a chrome wrap?
