I read now your text, sorry. Right idea, going in the right direction. First thing would be to remove the black pieve on top of the white painted seperater. |

That's a no from me, but hopefully some people really stuck on the design get something they like.

I'm completely fine with the oem, but also think you are going into right direction, much better than some renders…..just did a quick ps…get rid off middle slates and make the insert taller…no idea if feasible but that way you end up with equal horizontal slats, 2 at top and 2 bottom

IND kicks ass, but these painted front bits just look so wrong. I definitely appreciate the experimentation though.

I think the point is to break up the large grill a bit. I think IND is close!

Phase 2 of the front grille experiment...again we are just trying things out but at this point the OE all gloss is the best looking option.
Fall-line Motorsport has also started development on the tow hooks and suspension components.

Agree, perhaps a few pictures from several different angles may help.
Thanks for experimenting IND -- agree with your view that for now OE gloss black looks best. I do wonder if there is a way to "end" the grill at the 5th horizontal bar which will (I think) better fit the lines of the car and keep the OE aggressive look. Think it will blend better with that created gap between the end of grill and the bottom lip.

Nice ideas!
I think if you paint that bumper cover gloss black (instead of white or keeping it OEM plastic) it would disappear better. Unfortunately I don't think painting it body color helps at all. |
