Couldn't do it. Even solid grills couldn't stop me from avoiding this one. The aggressive accents and dark colour is so attractive! This however may be one of my last GT Spirits I'm willing to buy. It seems quality control has missed spots that are missing paint. Happened with the 993, this and the 964 duck tail (I've yet to photograph). Really would've likedto see a bit more effort put into those grills. They could have honestly went with a mesh and put a dark solid board behind. Yeah it'd still have the solid grill look, but at least there would be actual mesh.
