i have a small part under the grill where the paint is peeling. since i love the look of the b6, i found this grill as an alternate choice instead of getting the bumper repainted

i like it , i think they could have rounded it off more on the bottom to make it look more B6ish but i think it would look nice I have the same color as your, but your wheels are nice im still using stock did HIDs , 2k in stereo , tinted tails , exhaust first, next might be wheels or painting of lowers , what size are your wheels 17?

i still don't know yet. maybe i'll give a try. for 49$ i don't mind trying it:D

i will probably change the whole look of the car this winter, all chrome trims will be satin black with new black rims too. not sure wich one yet. so the grill will be black too. i don't plan on spending too much on this car because next year the porsche will be in my driveway. school will be over and i will be finally able to afford it


NYCSean, no, 17'' are too small for me:D they are 19'' with a staggered set-up. 8.5 wide for fronts and 9.5 for rears

The new B6 actually looks better to me than the B5.5. The trick LED tail lamps add a nice effect. The Malibu is styled right off of a Passat (look at it's rear lights, a combination of a b5.5/b6). The GM can't even begin to replicate the smooth Euro lines of the Passat B6.

Hey, Chrome is good,,,if you like it.

I was looking into this Chrome Film from TMTuning but I decided that I do not want a B5 to look like a B6.

So, I'm going for the "all" Chrome JOM Grill and all the other Chrome stuff I have.
