The grill looks good, but now your chrome headlights look hideous. BLACK EM OUT!

Looks good, I had my Audi on an all black theme kinda.

I am going to venture out and say that "Halfpanelsgirl" is... half panels...girl, so welcome!

Also just a thought, since you did the calipers/drums read, you might think about doing the script red as well, tint the headlights and keep the tail lights red. Just a thought.

Oh also let us know if you see an increase in MPG with the K&N. I did on the Audi but a lot of people were having problems with the K&N oil messing up the MAF on them so I removed it. I was getting a solid 2-5 MPG depending on city/highway driving.

OT for this thread i know, but if you're worried about oil from a K&N, check out AmsOil, their EaAir filters actually outflow a K&N, and are completely dry, made of a special nanofiber material and trap more stuff than a K&N can, and you just vacuum it or blow it out with an air gun to clean them.

HalfPanel, looks great! i personally liked your grill better how it was, but if you follow Chevy SS's idea and go red script and tint the headlights, i think it would look fantastic!

and HalfPanelsGirl, welcome haha
