    Looks Ok, as long as you don't put the Chev badges on it too.

    Looks ok but I think it's a bit to square for the car. Little bit more round and I'd go for it

    It just doesn't look right, like a round peg in a square hole. Not horrible just out of place.

    Well it's growing on her but she's still not overly convinced .. It's about $2500 fitted and painted so she has said she would be happier if I spent it on an audio upgrade .. So watch this space, something will happen - just not sure what lol

    I think the hard geometric line of the nostrils in that photo are clashing with the cars natural curves.
