How about you don't bother. The 300c grille and weird proportions don't have to be shown ever again.

The reason it's ugly and all out of proportion is because it wasn't done at the factory.

It's a damn shame people don't see past their noses at the workmanship that goes into modifying a cars panels, before downgrading them.

Unfortunately the art of modifying panels is deminishing and having alot of people downgrading others workmanship in this area, is helping make it almost non-existant anymore.

Yes, my flame suit is on. So burn me at the stakes.

It'll probably get torched in galpin st. Some piece of Whyalla trash will do all AU fans a favor.

Valid point about workman ship though. If its all legit that is. But very poor taste.

The workmanship is awesome - just look at all the odd and uneven panel gaps.
Take the paint off and its probably 1/4 bog.
