that nose is a huge improvement. it should be stock. i don't get why
they put the clown face on all of their cars. particularly since they
are otherwise a generally good looking line up - it doesn't seem true to
the cars overall original design, as if it an after market design. the
stock nose appears to me that it needs braces.
