    must be a custom challenge grille with larger holes! Better to let car wash water out (ala Xavior's pic posted a while ago...)

    That actually looks pretty good. I am not usually a fan of anything but the stock Challenge grill, but that is tastefull. It will definitley dissapate more heat, just don't cover your walls with it.

    Very nicely done! Racy....tasteful....unique
    Will altering the airflow thru the engine compartment change the air pressure over the bonnet thus reducing turbulence that tends to muss one's coif therefore requiring less gel?

    :)..... yes the aerodynamic resonance of the vortex generator will reduce the 'in cabin' air fluctuations, giving one the option of hair gel application while driving ;) :D

    very nicely done! I like how the cavallino was included, more of a factory look.

    ...as long as you don't go to or below the Equator. God forbid the vortex would reverse on you and ruin everything! The Heimholtz effect at the Equator to kinda fluff it up, then the reverse vortex to totally screw everything up!

    Ha Ha Ha! I also think it is tastefully-done... at least the black grill. I'd probably have to see it in person to say how much I'd like it compared to the challenge grill. Not sure how much the square holes behind will show through. I may not like that as much, but I'm surprised you didn't make those black too! Cmon Goth!

    The new grill should make the car run cooler! One thing I don't like is the gray metal body frame that lies behind the new grill. I think the new grill will show better if the frame was painted in flat black or a similar color to the new grill.

    Looks good, but would look better if you either painted the section below black (or went the other way and chromed it).



    Also, what would ***really*** be cool is if you put the rubber gothshields over that area. You'd get the aero functionality at speed, yet it would be closed and solid black when stationary.

    I seem to remember it took me about an hour to make and install my gothshield from a $10 rubber floor mat cut out into a shroud shape for the left radiator.

    Works great!
