The wagons are dope! A friend of mine is building one. The thinking behind painting the grill black was simple, if it looks bad, I can just strip the black off and go back to the matte silver. The problem for me was that they are so close to the chrome bumper it made the matte finish of the grills even more noticable. They just looked kinda old and beat. Also, I wanted to do something different. These are the kind of things that happen when im bored and waiting for parts to ship hahaOriginally posted by CubbyChowder View PostI think I might have to own one of these someday. The wagons really get me too, that would be a tough decision. I can't tell whether I like the all black or all stainless grill better. I think a mixture of both would look perfect haha either way it looks great and love the new ride height.Last edited by Keith602; 08-16-2013, 03:26 PM.

Agreed ^ It's so clean. The black really does this car justice, as well as the blacked out grill. Those are Crown Vic steelies for cop cars right? Get the rears widened for that staggered look.(IMO) Have you seen the shop selling IFS and IRS kits for these? I believe he has a build on this site. Anyway awesome work can't wait to see more.

Thanks! Yeah I've seen those setups, they are amazing. If I could afford to go that route, I definitely would.Originally posted by R32SilviaTech View PostAgreed ^ It's so clean.

Thanks man!! Yeah that first pic I posted didn't really show it well. Some people like the black grill and some don't, but I guess in the end it's really about just doing what you like.Originally posted by CubbyChowder View PostI can't get enough of this thing! I take back what I said a few days ago, the all black grill looks great in the new pictures.
Can't wait to see more of your build as well, coming along great
