    Ditto. Looks awesome but would look better with the grill opening shaped around the curves. I dig it!

    Looks neat. What would it look like if you switched them (smaller end in the middle) and made the bottom flat. Would be an EVIL GRIN!! Anyone with photoshop?
     
  6. Yes Sir, that Screams East Coast. I agree with a few of the others. Needs to have the corners fit to the Grills. You probably already have that figured out though.

    That looks cool as hell and it's different. Great idea!
    Any plans on changing the grill opening at all?

    I'm pretty happy with it.. I don't really think the opening needs to be changed, it's definitely not as square as it looks in these pics..It tapers down both top and bottom and actually hugs the grille nicely..I toyed with the idea of maybe building up the bottom part, near the bottom of the headlites a little, we'll see..

    I agree! Outer and inner. That would give it a custom '56(?) Chrysler 300 look. Very creative.
