Forgive me for asking but is there an original shot there? like for a before and after so the comparison can be made?

I think it looks really smart anyway! :thumbsup:

Edit: Umm...Can I see Superman seat covers?

Here ya go :). Yeh those are my awesome superman car seat covers :bowrofl: . Wish i hadda gotten the blue instead of red now but they were a present so cant really complain.
As for the grill i'm thinking of getting a chrome 3 diamond badge and putting it in the middle, my initial plan was to mesh the back of the grill but i'm trying not to spend too much money on my car seen as i'm selling it in the next 4-5 months.

EDIT: Would help if i added the pic lol

Looks a little out of place to me for some reason. Are you gonna put the Mitsubishi badge on the new grille?
Compared to the old one, it's an improvement but not a huge one.

i took my badge off and painted my grille about 8 months ago. i say leave the badge off, it gives the car this whole other look.

I still have the old one sitting in my garage. I bought a new grill and painted it. It originally was going to have a nose in the middle like on the TJ but i couldn't find anything that would mould easily to the shape i wanted :(. I reckon it looks better, not alot but then again its unique :). Lol also when i put the new grill on i placed the old one on top of the engine and forgot about it and closed the bonnet :O. Not a nice snapping sound at all, but super glue fixed it up all nice :)

OHHHH and totally off topic i got my car fixed yesterday, turned out a worn gasket and cylinder 4's pipe was missing BOTH bolts, was causing the exhaust leak. It's ****loads quieter now but its lost some of its grunt like sound when accelerating hard, now its nearly all whine :'(

A nice straight through bolt-on will fix that up;)

This is my grill... i just put some extra fine aluminium mesh on it and painted the frame kinda thing of it...

it needs a clean up and some better mesh in it...

I decided to keep the symbol.. Give it a nice sleek look.

Oh and the grill on the bumper was a bit*h to do

Looks nice, should colour code the border.

Khaos, its really hard to see he mesh in your grill but from what i can gather did you just stick it over the top? looks abit like a fly screen =\, better mesh and putting it in behind the grill (like on gerards, cutting out the lines going across and down) and it would look nice. Gerard your grill is basically what mine was going to look like, only my mesh was gonna hopefully be chrome(dunno if yours is but its not very shiny if it is :P), colour code the border and have a centre piece. But i'm now redirecting all my funds into my new car which will most likely be a TE or TF now :D.

i took the grill apart and put it inbetween both peices... i am getting more grill soon but i dont want that same big chukny stuff that everyone gets from autobarn... im also going to take the lines out completely once i can get around to doing it... that or im gonna try and make it look joined onto the bumper bar... plus i painted it and it looked better a few months ago but the paint was craply... but i'll fix it all soon and post new pics :D
