I actually like the grilles on your cars (but then i dont have to look at it every day) I know what you mean though, im getting a bit bored with my EA one at the moment. I love old skool but chrome teeth grille, spats, whitewalls and flame jobs dont really suit e-series so lets hear a few more suggestions.

yea it is a nice grille, however after looking at my car a few times a day, then the 10 or so EL Gli's/Futuras you see witin a 10 min drive , it gets a liitle boring, need something different.
The predator grille is nice, however it sits flush with the bar, id rather it sit in a little more.
