Not SUPER seriously considering it, but I was curious if anyone had one of these on their car. Just trying to get a general idea...Not that I am 100% going to get one, just looking for some feedback. And I really don't like the honeycomb...

IMO those are ugly as hell. Might look alright on a titanium tho. In the end its ur car so if you like it, get it.

I had one. Had it on the car for a couple days and took it off. Was gonna paint it black but nah. It goes over the stock one. I must say the fitment is great and pretty easy to install.

Man...tough choice...Qwik6 inspired the PIAA fogs I have on my car. That was the first "fell in love with my car." (Second was the 15% tint I got today) Don't know what to do...think it would look hot with Titanium...should I be the Guinea pig???

I see...Does anyone know of anything else that any company makes to replace that stock honeycomb part? I really don't like that portion of the front fascia and was looking to swap it out...

The billet gril doesnt replace the stocker. And nobody else makes anything for the lower portion.

On the other had. There is a guy who removed the stock piece and replaced it with a black mesh. Turned out descent. Ill see if I can find a pic.

Skip it man, car looks better off without flare on the front of it like that. I actually like the grille on the front. Speaking of, I need to fix mine,it's got big portion of it messed up.

My dad backed into it and deformed the plastic in the shape of a truck hitch. I have a new grille in the attic waiting to be installed, but I haven't been motivated enough to pull the front bumper off yet. Maybe I'll order my HIDs by then so I can do it all at once.

I think a mesh grill would look pretty good on the ms6. The problem is I havent seen one yet that I like. And as Quick6 mentioned, one in gloss black just might be the ticket. Theres really nothing wrong with the stock grill, but its just a little to plain/generic looking imo.

Oh I did. he paid for the grille, and luckily that's the only thing that got damaged. I'm waiting til the weather clears to rip the front bumper off and fix it, along with the scuffs on the bottom of the bumper that i did on accident.

That MS6 is way overdone. That lower grille doesn't look different enough to want me to spend money on something like that.

The Crash Bar exposed is ugly. At least get a FMIC in there.

That car used to be one of the more nicer ones but now........yuck

Damm that girl is fine!!!!!!!!! It would probbly be better if they left the stock grill in with the black mesh over it! But also from that pic the mesh grill looks to transparent to really see it therefore you see the front bumper/crashbar as some of you call it.
