Default New Grill, Mirrors, and engine plastic pics

I have been busy the past few days. I broke one of my mirrors last week. But luckily i found some street scene mirrors already painted on ebay.
I picked up a new grill not sure the brand but it is a cutout version and i am very happy with the quality and fitment.
I repainted my bowtie, it had a few flaws before but now im happy with it.
And finally i did some touch ups on my engine plastics and added some blue to the radiator cover.
Tell me what you think

Looks good, Jeff. Only downside I see to any StreetScene mirrors vs my stockers is reduced visibilty cause it's a smaller mirror. Is that a problem or no?
And price. Mine came on my truck for low, low price of only ~$25K.
So, I'll prolly eventually do mine or get the StreetScenes. But I wanna paint everything all at once & be done. Mainly cause I have nowhere to paint, at this time. So cosmetics are down the road. Performance 1st.

They take some getting use to, but after that there not bad at all. only problem i have with them is backing up, but usualy its no problem and if there is a problem its because my tint is so dark i wouldnt be able to see no matter what mirrors are out there.. I also got mine for cheap off ebay, should keep your eye open and maybe youll find some for cheap, there worth it just to get rid of the wind noise that comes from the big stockers imo
