lol i am well aware they come color coded how ever there was no blue and i thought i would just put it on as silver and see how it looked. but i agree i would look better in the blue.

+1 for colour coded.
I can see your train of thought on the silver though.

I am a bit smitten with your front mount. Looks sweet.

Definitely colour match the grill though. Silver makes it look like it's a part from a wrecker.

That's a Corazon front grill, imported directly from Japan. One of, if not, the best looking aftermarket grilles... Jump on JapanParts.com and if they're still on sale are available for under $400 posted.

Ok so I have now had it color matched for $110 and it does look a lot better, I also added the emblem which adds to the look. I'll upload pictures once I get back as I work away.
