Congratulations two feet! Very nice. Keep calm and drive on we say. You can spend hours reading about possible modifications for your Axis. First thing that comes to mind is that your later model has an even larger front grill. That grill being low to the ground at the same time will be quite inviting for a small rock that just dropped off of a construction truck, etc., to go past it and crashing through your radiator, etc. Read up on the Forum what several of us have done to protect what is behind that pretty grill. One step at a time with all of this.
