I'd really like to hear what people think about how much difference the 1 and 2 mods would make.
BTW, even though I clearly fall on the "I like it stock" side (well sort of, I wouldn't mind one of these Holbay options and I have a Series I-III grille in my Series V and I may add some MKII trim if I find it . . . OK, so everybody likes to tinker a little-- anyway I really enjoy hearing about others' modifications, and I want to urge Frank to reconsider posting info about his experience creating the Alpinto. If not though, I'd like to be on a distribution list.
