His is stock. I can see how you could clean up the nose a lot, just by covering the gaping grille. There is NO need for even half that much opening. The shape is good, you could just do some kind of skin over what's already there.

Edit: I see you're getting a Scangauge. Good. It can work with key-off or a kill switch. Just set the Fuel Type to Hybrid. It doesn't receive any updates from the ECU during the brief off-on cycle, but otherwise it's fine. That's all I have. The kill switch is good, but not mission-critical.
