Based upon the pictures I'm going with example B. The mock-up grill placement looks better towards the back verses closer to the front, because it highlights the center piece.

I like "B" too, But I would keep the LED day time driving lights mounted on top and drop the fog lights I gave you. I would go with smaller round Hella fog lights and hide them in the center grill.

Hella Micro DE Xenon HID driving lights

As usual-you're most likely are right.

Update: Dan had time to mount the Nose and I think it's a winner. It looks like the car is in flight while it's parked. Aggressive? Yes. Attitude? Yes. Ferrari/lamborghini? No.

Pics sent to Tony. Enjoy.

Thanks. I finally learned to have the backside of the rims polished with a clear coat.


Backside views and things; HRE 20x12 with stainless steel fastners and fully polished/clear coated inner barrels.



Stainlees steel fasteners and hardware: Notice the nearly unnoticable valve stem caps on front views. After many thieves stealing my caps over the yrs...they now have to look very, very hard for them!


Backside polished/clear coated (I've learned my lesson over the yrs...painted centers/clear coated inners = less elbow work

Notice the amount of weight reduction by the triangular cut-outs on the backside mounting surface.

Pardon me for the bump. Dan and I are comparing notes. However, new pics on Wednesday.

A few additional modifications are still needed and the plan is too now move the sides outward a bit-similar to what was performed on the original nose to prevent the front tires from sticking outward. It's a bit annoying for all 88s, especially with 8.5 rims up front.

Meanwhile, a few pics. Enjoy.

Not feeling the extra non-vent area. We'll need to come-up with something a bit better. I saw a Pontica 2010 (or 2009?) G8. I was digging the side marker light.

Due to time, I was goofing out with the pin-strip tape.
