OEM grille and new gas struts for the hatch. Chrome badges for rear will be here on Tueday. Let the unnecessary spending continue!

Update: new grille is on

I found an inexpensive set. I’m going to put one on and see how I like it. Then maybe the other two. I was thinking about putting a little color on the grille, but it’s better shape than I thought it would be. No sense in painting it another color if it’s still passable.

Glad to see some progress on that front!

Paint the “L” red. Front and back.

Was thinking about a red ring around the badge in front on the grille. Since it’s a 2 minute job to swap, I can always change my mind later.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 11/26/2017 at 19:14

That grille looks 100% better

I found one that’s black with chrome center instead of all satin. But this looks fine for now.

In all seriousness it looks good

And here I thought you liked the badge-less look. This looks better.

I still say you should have gone to a pick n pull, but, nevertheless, it’s nice

What’s the pun?

I’m a fan of not spending money. So I spent some money anyway.

“On that front” is phrase referring to referring to the project or task at hand, it’s a pun because it’s literally the front in this case.

Rule of puns #2

If you must explain your pun, it did not work as intended

Oppo starts another trend - REBADGING!

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > NojustNo 11/27/2017 at 00:39

This is technically Un-bebadging (patent pending). Rebadging would be putting on Altezza grills and such.

I’ve decided that ALL I WANT IS A SPORTCROSS. The second I spot something with less than ~85k miles, and for less than $10k, it’s mine.

Mine had 91k miles and cost 7k, which was followed immediately by a new timing belt, 90k service, repainted bumper, etc.

The 2JZ with VVT is an interference engine so do not postpone the timing belt!

I liked the black grille look, but the OEM one is nice and I can certainly appreciate the class and taste with which you are rebadging your badges.

ETA: ok, undebadging. Badges.

There is an all-black grille with a chrome emblem (That I unfortunately found one week after mine had arrived...). It would cost about $175 though.
