Re: RON NB8A Turbo
Though i like the grill, I think it would reduce airflow.

Re: RON NB8A Turbo
+1
You seem to want the car to produce even more grunt yet are adding something which restricts airflow?
Any style grille will restrict airflow, no matter how large the holes are.
I added one initially to protect the intercooler from stone damage when DD but removed it once I learned how much they affect airflow - I reckon I can afford a new eBay Cooling-Pro intercooler every few years.

Re: RON NB8A Turbo
Tinted headlights look great.
Not sure about the plasti-dip though since your dark green doesn't really allow enough contrast for it to "work" (JMO).
