Yes that grill fill makes it look like a gasser conversion. This seems all the rage- Kia Soul gassers have a grill block and hideaway tailpipe that keep tricking me in to thinking I've seen a Soul EV. Funny too are the black matte headlight inserts that make it look like a boy racer add-on rather than oem projectors behind flush lenses. Overall, I'll give it a cautious thumbs-up and look forward to a test drive.
