New grilles! What do you think?

Installed some grilles a few weeks ago. Tell me what you think! This week I'm getting a bunch of other goodies installed...I'll post pics when it's done. Enjoy!













p.s. didn't know whether to post this in the multimedia forum or exterior appearance and body kits forum

Nice, where did you get those? Don't care for the big one in the grille though.

thanks 4 the comments all, suprised not many like the middle one, but that's ok. I've actually gotten alot of compliments about it. It looks super clean in person. The middle came from grilleguy.com. He sells them on ebay. You can get them powdercoated black if you want for an additional $7. It cost around $45 as is. The lowers came from rx8strakes.com. Don't remember the price...maybe around $30? You can also get the lower ones from grilleguy.com too but I didn't realize that until after I bought the lower ones. Oh and the rear grilles came from rx8strakes as well. The rotary one I fabricated myself with some extra mesh I had left over from cutting out the foglight openings.

Pictures never do justice. The funny part is people with bone stock 8's always leave the negative feedback. People who put blood, sweat, and tears appreciate this kind of thing, even if it isnt their cup of tea

Not to start trouble. Not to type this thinking I need to defend my opinion. The OP did ask for opinions..no? Well, my opinion was that "dark" looked better. I however, don't have my car stock.. Currently I have a MazdaSpeed Bodykit and Wing. Oh, and 18" Aftermarket Rims.... Yada, Yada, Yada...

my comment wasnt targeted towards you. You gave a valid opinion, which was respectful and constructive.

But this: seems a little disrespectful. Im not trying to cause drama but that kinda annoyed me lol.

^^I did ask for opinions, thank you all for your replies. Like I said, it's all good. I'm sure this look will change in the future anyways. But for now...I like it. For it not costing too much, I think it drastically improves the look over stock.

You do have a valid point. Sometimes peoples opinions could be right down harsh. I'm not really about that. I can't stand the drama and you will notice, I stay away from it. Believe me, if I really like something, I'll be the first to comment. I rarely comment if it's something I don't like... The way I see it, if I have nothing positive to say, I won't say it at all.

Tonight, was one of those rare occasions..
