My new/old Grill

Well I've had this RRM grill sitting around for a while but decided to put it on the other day and go to my local shop to get it painted. Well I already put the grill on to see how it looked and as I was on the highway going to the shop this truck in front of me had a blow out and guess what.... A huge chunk of tire came flying at my car and busted my new grill! It sucked *****! Well Thursday I decided to do a little DIY fixing and worked on my grill. I filled in the hole with some epoxy putty I had lying around my garage and I't turned out a lot better than I thought it would. It looks good as new. I fixed my grill and got it painted so now I'm happy and just wanted to show it off to everyonel. What do you guys think?

I thought about getting it color matched but I kind of like the black grill thing, it kind of offsets things.

blackout the headlights then so it will be more balanced and out of place looking. think that would make a big diff and wont make it stick out so much.

Yeah, the black out thing is something I want to do, I just need to find the time to sit down and do it. I'm such a procrastinatior. (sp?)

Good looking grill. The contrast is really original. Nice job on fixing it, can't even tell it'd been damaged!
