I like the grille, think it needs to be painted red or metallic gunmetal to match your car or the hood (preferably the hood) so it doesn't stand out as much.
Pics actually look good for using the pop-up flash in most of the pics, there are a few where it's noticeable (in the headlight reflectors, some where the background just drops off), but props to you for making good use of what you had! I know I've been there!
