One could easily start with just painting the two horiz radiator intake strakes black and slightly darkening the turn signal light lenses with that spray stuff. Easy $100- 200 mod.
Someone care to photoshop such a front? Would look more aggressive , IMO.

I like that ! Someone should make a set of ABS- plastic strake covers that mounts simply by using automotive two-sided adhesive tape . You know, $70 bucks for a set of textured black ones and $570 for carbon fiber look .
