    I have always liked the look of that grill. Would you mind posting another picture of the car you did it to. After all your hard work it deserves to be shown of:)

    good job! ........that grill design is very 'functional' :) .............. when I did mine a while back using this type of 'grill' material ........ I was only discouraged by the body structure behind it that became 'a lot' more visible ........... :eek: ....... not wanting to cut the car up ...... I will use something similar to the challenge grill style material but with slightly bigger holes ............ here are some pic posts of said endeavour:

    What's the difference between this and a Challenge grille? Is it less expensive or are Challenge grilles hard to get/NLA?

    The challenge grille holes are very small on the f355 and 360 models, the holes need to be a tad bigger to move air threw the engine bay. The problem is to big of a holes you will see to much inside of the bay. the best size is the size of the f50 which I think is the best design of all the grilles.

    Good point. Now that you mention it, I can see inside the engine bay a bit more.

    I can sell these for about $800 using your grille. The mesh material is available in other sizes including the exact perforated Fcar Challenge type.

    I will get some more pics from the owner Dave (unless he beats me to it). Price includes painting to any colour, but I think semi gloss black is the best.
    Also working on clear engine cover panels for TRs and some other little things.

    I like the bigger holes. Let's see the engine! And a Lexan cover for the 355 engine...or is that too much like a 360?

    Too much like a 360 (not that there's anything wrong with a 360).

    And... the 355 engine is not all that sexy looking (until you see it out of the car with the air plenums removed).
