Thanks all. The stance is killer on this car. These Vettes are so low and wide that it makes them look even better when it is slammed.

Here ae a few more pics of the re-worked front end. We tossed all of the stock trim and grilles. complete new units were fabricated from aluminum to change the shape of the openings and give it a more modern, aggressive look.

Here, the center opening has already been fabbed. The passenger side blank was hammered out as a solid piece. The center was blacked out to show where it will be trimmed away for the opening.
