jetta look-a-like

Is there an option to not have the VW Jetta wannabe chrome on the front of the 07 trac?? I suppose it could be painted to match the trac color. Guess I'll stick with the 2001.

Nope. I think Ford is used Audi/VW and Nissan to design the 2007 Trac.



I like my "upgraded" 2002 Trac.

To show you how it might look, here's a painted grill on an Explorer Sport:

While the new ST has almost grown on me (only in Orange though), that grille is still...ugh. My dad and I passed one in a parking lot, and his first comment? "That chrome grille is ugly". While Audi certianly is worth copying, even Audi has enough sense to keep high doses of highly-reflective coated plastic off the nose.

I can imagine how long that 'high reflective coated plastic' will last in the Oklahoma sun.



That painted Sport grill looks 10X better than the chrome.

I am not a big fan of the new front end either. However, I did see a picture of an 07 ST with a Billet Grille installed on the front end which I really liked. When I break down and get a new ST, the first thing I wil do will be to put in a Billet Grille.

P.S. Sorry, couldn't find a pic.
