New pics of billet grille

Installed a grille on my car today. Some of you might have read the thread about matt01z28 crashing his car. Well this came to his house the day after his accident so he pretty much gave it to me. Let me know what you guys think.

Started the day off like this:


After some pulling:


Added some black vinyl (didn't want to paint just yet)



Finished it up:

Putting the license plate behind the grill might seem cool, but cops are still going to get you for blocking their view(like a CLEAR plate cover). I think it would look a lot better without the plate taking away from the look, and put the plate behind the windshield, or "LOL" drive without it and takes your chances.

Legally, sticking the plate on the dash so it's viewable through the windshield is the same as not having it at all.....

I heard from a cop it's legal in the windshield, but then again on 4th gens you can't see the whole plate I've been pulled over with it in the windshield and no one has said anything. Also at work we keep the rear plate for the shop car in the window because someone has already stolen one of the dealer plates......again, that hasn't been a problem.
