06 grill

What in the hell was Mitsu thinking with the new 06 R/A grill? Having the RA badge on it is pretty cool, but they kept the same front bumper and hood, but have a flat grill now so there's just a big *** gap between the hood and bumper.

It isn't bad, but if I had to choose, I'd take the old style in a second.

I'm more disappointed with the interior of the 06's. Without the red accents on the seats, it looks lifeless in there.

its too open, and it has sort of a ugly bar on the bottom. Its nice in black cause it all blends in, other colours not so much.

Funny, tons of people complained about the look of the 04-05 grille. Mitsu actually responded and changed it to a toothless grille.... and now more complaints.

well I actually think the 06 RA would look alright in black or grey paint because no one would be able to really notice the 'toothless' fb
