please take that sticker off the rear..its looks tacky. The grille looks pretty good, how much did it cost you?
I just noticed the mesh in the fog light holes, and that doesn't look too good....
I assume you have a n/a s80 ? Add some foglights instead !

Congratulations.
I don't think you could make your S80 look any shittier for spending 20 dollars at home depot.

speaking of color matching, you should do your sidetrim etc.

I've been seriously contemplating it... I want to, but I'm not sure how it'd turn out and the black and white is really growing on me.
color match and get front heico flaps. That would look good.

I assume you have a n/a s80 ? Add some foglights instead !40 for the grille itself and 53 after trim, adhesive, and shipping.
Yea, I might be putting foglights in, but they could also be mounted in the center, right? If not then I can always take those parts out.

Well I just checked on it and it barely bonded with the fog light holes so I took those out.
The slash is inseperable from the logo, which is cracked. Yea, definetly gettin fogs.
