If you can have a car that looks like a steamroller, others can get painted grilles.

I don't know what steamrollers look like in Canada, but here's a USA steamroller:



Just for comparison's sake, here's how my "steamroller":



And this is what you like WHAHAAHAHAHAH:

There's too much yellow going on there and it makes the car look washed out. And as I pointed out, silver grilles on a black car adds contrast, and carries the silver theme from the headlights. If I ever run into that C4S again, I'll snap a photo.

Don't try to bite my style, I'm a style icon, baby!

P.S. Is your spoiler mod for performance, for looks or both? Not a criticism per se, just wondering what your thoughts are.

Definitely post the photo. Tell the guy you consider yourself the style icon and I'm sure the driver will be more accepting...

The spoiler is for looks, though I think the 996 C4S is one of the rare exceptions where sans wing, it still looks damn good. It may well have the best looking **** end in the water-cooled universe.

My Misha GTM wing is on there to match the front aero lip to balance out the front to the back.

the yellow car is such a plastic surgery gone bad. Is this a MK1 aero with a turbo front conversion?
