Your car looks hot either way lolol

I hate the look of a gaping whole in the front of a car from 20 feet away, so I vote sash

They (VS) wax their cars? I thought the lastest craze was to wrap them in viynl so the paint is flat. At least thats what won the IPD show.

With your grille and headlights, I say no slash.

If you had the stock grille or one with a thin/no chrome border, or if the border were blacked out, a thin slash would be nice.

:lol: So I'm more undecided than ever. I'll probably keep the slash for a week to see if it grows on me

Looks good either way.

The "Slash" is only needed IMO if your running the original grill peice.

Slash for sure for me... Is it a little crooked though?

And what is that lip? I've seen it on your car before but in that one pic it's literally sitting on the ground haha
