Might just do my own custom grill and forget about colour coding mine. Not sure yet. Been playing with ideas for a while for an FBT-style grill. Probably cost just as much!

ELs look good with the FBT style grille. The EL Predator concept had one, it looked sweet

But yeah that price is very good.

Queensland. It was referred to me by my neighbour who's been working as a mechanic in his Dad's local shop for about 10 years. Plus it's in my street. He said they are probably equal first or second best in the area.

I've got the issue of Motor with the Predator in it. What I'm thinking of would be similar.
