Those pictures I believe are the day or the day before the head gaskets blew.
It ran 3 weeks ago, so that's the age of the pictures...

[QUOTE=SmokinS13SR20;4285003]I'm not going to paint the car, just going to wet sand, clay bar and wax it to return the paint to a condition it used to be in.
I really just want opinions on the grill lol

Yeah, I know..I'd just have to see it w/ nice paint first.

Someone was sleeping next to me when I was typing, so I was brief. (loud keyboard)

I didn't mean to sound insulting or anything, just that I can't personally offer an opinion the way it is. I wouldn't paint the grill or anything else without the overall car looking just as good. It ends up looking worse than before, IMO, when people do that. Plus, once it's cleaned up or repainted or whatever, that'll change how the grill looks in the big picture. So I say clean it up and repost new pics.

If it was my car, I'd just fix the headlights asap and just restore the rest of the car, no need to change anything, it looks nice the way it is.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
