Def starless!! Just need the slats a little closer together, maybe even another slat.

Who is that Godfather guy??? That grill looks sick as is!! What is confusing people is that fact that the stock grill has stuff between the slats, that's why these look so spaced out. Personally, I LOVE IT! I think it has to be shown on a car for people to truly appreciate it.

Ivan, send it over

Ok after looking at it in more detail, I can see how if the spacing is reduced it may look a bit better, but on the same token, I think it may be too busy if too many slats are present.

The pictures taken obviously had a flash on which shows behind the clear very clear/light, as opposed to dark as it should be, which would then blend in the grill a bit more and make it look less airy. I made a photoshop of the grill on my car when it was bone stock (I made a mockup flat hood badge), so you can get the idea with correct lighting how it may look.

Sup dude. First off love the whip. Here is mine, looks real similar. Love ur wheels

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/m...ks-lucent.html

The grill i think
will good, might need a little revision, got to see it in person i guess, the pictures do make it look weird and stand out in a bad way. I think its because of the lighting behind the grill also.

Here tho however i do see a problem as like stated above from another member. It looks a little bent, either the mold or the way it was dried, or formed or what ever. What do you think?




The thing i did in photoshop kinda makes you not notice what i am attempting to point out, look at the original picture posted

Yeah I dont know if those are defects or just the pics, I suppose I'll see when I get it, but then again, if there are any defects, i'm sure they will be taken care of.

With more slats it just looks better. Screw around too much with the integrity of the original design and things can start looking cheap, imho.

More slats would look just stock. I think the less slats like here makes it look more aggressive. I'll have it on my car soon, and I think you guys will like it

The pics on the S211 didn't so it for you? That grill is actually mine, but I'm picking it up later in the month or in July, along with something else I'll take more pics to convince you
