Took a trip to Arkansas for a few days to spend some quality time with the G87. Drove some truly amazing roads.

As cliche as it may be I might have to try to figure out if I can colorize some of these. Like let the tail lights be red and the signs be yellow idk. The winter landscape frankly looks better in B&W imo.

I don't think I even have a copy of Photoshop anymore and I don't think Lightroom does layers. So, not sure if I can.

Got some new winter tires just in time for the first snow. Had to call in backup to help haul the PZeros back home.

It's a carbon grille with just a single middle piece. I did have to cut it from the inside to make more clearance for the intakes though. Not sure if that's what you meant

I know what you did, but I was wondering how you cut it? Hot knife? Scissors? File? Razor?

I’m looking to do the exact same grill and modify it to also fit front mount intakes.
