This cannot be unseen: a new take on the F8X grille

Some will love it - some will hate it. I personally love it.
A simple strip of vinyl gave me a G30/80 inspired more modern look. Easy to reverse.

Made a video on how to DIY this mod.


Thoughts??

Yeah, actually an improvement over stock, imo. Hard to manage on the front of an F80, but pulled it off. Integrates perfectly with the headlights

Looks good Tommy, probably wouldn't do it myself, but a solid option for those who want a different look.

I like it! It contrasts well with the paint. I wonder how it would look on grey...

I've contemplated this on several occasions but not having black housing headlights stopped me.

I can dig it.

Very creative. Looks good. As someone mentioned, i doubt this looks as good on non-contrasting paint colors, but i like the fresh take and it looks killer on YMB

I like it without it. Connecting the grilles makes it look too much like a Kia Stinger to me.
