ye it would fit my car...but i have to cut the old grill out first lol..i am gonna do it..but im meshin it insted of grill :)

personally i dont think it wud be too much red..i think its a simple and free mod that really improves the look of the car...just if u do it be prepared to put some elbow grease in gettin the blak glue stuff off...but definatley worth the effort mate
