New Owner / Question About Badgeless Grill
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 7:03 pm
Yo fellow Kizashi drivers. I'm the proud new owner of a 2011 GTS AWD (CVT). I've had the car for about 10 days, am approaching 600 miles and so far I love it.
I just came out of a very boring yet practical Honda Fit so the change is an obvious upgrade in driving experience from comfort to performance. It certainly isn't the fastest car I've ever owned or driven but so far I don't have a single complaint. This car is fantastic! In the past I've owned a couple of Audi's (Quattro and 2WD) and a Mazda RX8 and this car is still my overall favorite to date. I would have personally preferred a MT, but had to be sure the wife could drive it as well, but other than the somewhat sluggish pull off the line (which actually seems fast to me now coming from the Fit!), the CVT is very smooth and the AWD grips the road like a dream.
I've already debadged it and love the way the rear end looks blank. I use to work with a guy who had a badgeless grill on his Accord Coupe and I always thought it looked really nice. I haven't been able to find one yet though for the Kizashi. Does anyone know if one is made or sold anywhere? Like the rest of you, one of the things I like about the car is its uniqueness (I haven't seen another on the road yet), and its fun when people ask what it is and you get to talk to them about it. Removing the badges seems to spark more conversation. I already caught a guy taking pictures of my car in the parking lot the other day!
Anyways, if anyone happens to find a blank Kishashi Grill that can replace the stock please post a link or send me the info. I'm not in a huge hurry to find one, but thought it would be a nice upgrade to the appearance down the road. Much appreciated!
