It's cool, and don't get me wrong, and it's original. I just don't think you can see it enough to warrant doing the mod.

Well if you wanted it seen more, you could always paint the honeycombs silver or do them chrome.

I wouldn't mind finiding some that run the whole width of the grill, not sure where you get that thought. any ideas by chance?

interesting piece there, looks decent, considered it, but i dont want to impede the airflow for my ram air, otherwise would have done it my self.


Are you going to wet sand your front fascia?

looks ok good idea, i would of done it in a diffrent color than black. seems to kill the effect, did you aline your hood the center looks a bit off, or is it the nose thats high?

looks like first or second gen t/a grill

Looks like the material that Ford is using on some of their new stuff, Mustang and F series among others. But I hope I am wrong and you got this material in a bulk sheet. If you did, please share, as I have been looking for it and have been unable to find any honeycomb mesh in sheet form. Come on NEEDforSPEED, inquiring minds want to know.

well you'll be happy to know that there isn't anything ford on or near the Camaro at all times, not that there is anything wrong with them , but i like to keep it in the GM family,
i got them off a Pontiac, but i cant remember grand pix or am.... doesn't really matter but it did take some thinking and time to get it on there, are grills are a bit bigger then those that are found on the grams, believe it or not its pretty visible guess the camera doesn't really pick it up as well as the eyes can, trust me.... If anyone wants i can take it off and take a pic of the back to see how it was fitted on....
