I had this custom grille made, i had some guy from a body shop cut the bar with H in it out, and then i put this mesh grille from HOME DEPOT behind it, looks pretty good...IMO.. and i also had the trunk re painted, I shaved the H and even the keyhole, so now its got the total clean look in the back [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

LOL, for a second I thought you said you shaved the entire trunk and I was wonder why the fawk anyone would do that. Anyway it looks really nice...that would be cool if I could shave my trunk keyhole but for some reason my trunk release doesn't work so I HAVE TO use the keyhole...oh well that's another topic...

So you got a remote trunk opener or do you just open up your car everytime?

I like the grill looks pretty tight, the trunk is looking pretty clean too but you gotta love that deal only if I could find a good body guy [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I had my h shaved but not my keyhole. I hope u dont have to drive ur car during the winter otherwise u might be sol. The latch in the car might not work if it is extreamly cold out and it has been snowing or icey because ur trunk will have a light seal on it therefor ur trunk will be stuck shut without that keyhole...

If you had a button above your licence plate to open your trunk couldn't anyone just walk up to it and open it?
