Personally, I'd go for Mike's upper grille (for obvious reasons lol)

Btw...does the blue film on the foggies project blue light?

Whatever you choose, change that garish looking license plate holder.

1st) I won't say anything bad about the license plate frame. On the positive side, you already have a digital picture so you can post it up on EBay.

2nd) The grilles, the upper is pretty slick, but it looks like it might restrict air a little too much. My preference is to go with a set of Mike's grilles in black.

Now if we can just get Mike to make cold air intake kits. 8)

Hmm... I love the billet look, but it seems there is a gap between the bottom of the grill and the bumper. I checked the factory grill and it is flush with the bottom bumper.

Anyone have any comments about this? I think a gap like that would drive me nuts, but I really like the billet look.

Billet Grilles are for trucks. Mike's grilles are classy looking - I've had many peeps tell me how much they like them (NOT Solara owners either - owners of Beemers, Benz, Acura and Lexus have all stated it).

As for the lic plate frame... uh... I'd rather pay an occasional $25 ticket for not having one at all than to try to "dress it up". ;)
