Yeah! When I drove up to pick the car up and saw it, It looked so different I had to look again to make sure it was mine!

I had them powdercoated in gloss black with a clear coat. Have had them that way for over a year, and no scratches or chips yet. I was leary of blacking too much out, but it was subtle enough that the grille is still visible even being black.

Would love more shots from more angles!

What did you do with your suspension?

Just lowered with H&R springs. No fancy suspension work. I will get some more pics.
