Just curious, I love the look of my CDC GT500 Upper and Cervinis lower. I added them to increase airflow while installing a Procharger Stage 2 system. They seem to do a great job, as my IATs never seem to get much higher than ambient.

I constantly get asked what happened to my Grille lol. I think people think I have removed it, and plan on reinstalling it at some point?

Has anyone added an emblem to their setup to make it look more "finished"? I think the fact that you can see my intercooler bracket through the grille isn't helping my cause :). I did paint it black so it would be less obvious.

I've got the same upper/lower with the mesh installed in the middle. Looks good and adds a little bit of rad protection.

I tell them I sucked a toddler into it and it got knocked out. I painted my brackets as well and had a tri-bar pony emblem on the passenger side for awhile , but I like it better without.

I've pulled 2 dead birds out of my lower so far, but no toddlers yet. They keep laying down as I drive over them, but I think my chin spoiler clips them.

Wow it looks amazing man! How did you add the pony?
I used an old pony emblem off a grille and stuck double sided tape to the back of it. Then I placed it on the condenser (which is silver stock)and spray painted the area black. Once you remove the emblem, you'll have a silver pony.
If your condenser is already black, you can spray paint the area silver first then add the emblem and then black spray paint.
