Looks good. What happened to your back window wiper? Looks like it is missing. What kind of grille do you have? A 97 painted what color?

I'm not diggin the wheel choice.. they're not bad, they just don't fit the car well imho. And you should definitly paint the grill red.

For the grill, any thoughts on how black chrome would look? If you can find a place that can paint something that colour. If they don't charge you an arm, leg, and first born child to do it.

I like the 97 grill, but the chrome S4 just seems to gaudy to me, plus it's more shiney than the headlights, which looks a bit odd.

the grainy shots are due to using a higher iso to enable low light shots

The black wheels seem to be too much black with the tires and the color of the car.

I would like to see a grille picture closer for more details.

I actually like the grille...though it'd look better with lighter colored wheels. You could have any decent body shop paint the wheels and grill the same silver color, and I bet it'd look quite good

Also

I also vote for silver or chrome wheels and painted grille. Other than that, it looks greats.

Thumbs up

looks sweet............I think the black wheels look better on cars with the black roof/tail scheme though. I ive got a 92 claret with flat black motegi 17s. How hard was the Momo steering wheel swap? Airbag still operational.............Cheers

the momo steering wheel swap was pretty easy actually you just need a puller and some common sence. I wired up the steering wheel but because the momo airbag uses different voltage the airbag light still comes on. I have yet to see if it works tho and i dont plan on it either.
