    for what its worth mate, if your going to have a mesh grill then you need to have a mesh lower set of gills, like the votex kit has, otherwise it just looks like a bonnet from another car has been places on yours, paint the rings? well its a personal choice, i like to show them on my car, but they do look nice and stealthy when done,

    I like the mesh, wish i could get that for my stock bumper, and your rings looks good. I would like to see them on a lighter colored car though, even a red one if someone has done it.

    stock with black rings flows better since it matches the lower grills better than the Kamei does. If you added the Kamei lower in black that would change my mind..

    Not a fan of the kamei grill personally. And to be honest the boser looks a little odd on an otherwise stock car. It's your car, do whatever makes you happy and fvck the haters

    I think its just because i have the stock rims on it, No point in putting aftermarket ones on now, since its almost winter.

    Nah, its the stock lower valence. Boser needs usp lower (at least, really pairs best with oetty IMO) to look right on the car.
