I like everything you have done minus the SS in the grill to "SI-ish" and the Rims I just have never liked!

That is the purest beauty about modifying a car. Everyone has different taste, som is better than others. There are so many things i like about your car Cesar, and there are some things i don't, but i would rather focus on this things i like, including the SS in the grille, although i think it should be either the bowtie or the SS logo. Both is a tad busy, but, again, to each theor own, if we were all the same,it would be boring as all get out.

yeah, i think it would clean it up a little.

It would have to be flat black though, with the chrome still. I actually think the Gold bowtie works really well on that front end.

Maybe move the SS down to the lower grille. Cut into the grille so it's recessed and sits flush. ooh la la.

Trust me it would!

My friend bout this license plate contraption of the internet for his GTI. What you do is this:

For a show or something you can pull it down into place under the car. Then for regular driving, you can pull it back out to where it's visible.

I like it.

Don't like the eyelids though... they kinda make the car look lazy from the front... not aggressive.
