yea, no offense to who made it but imho it ruins the car.... it does the 3 things i hate most on grills, billet bars, covering the headlights, and most of all being flush mount.

The rest of the car is awesome though!

The grill makes me expect to hear electric razor noises as the car revs. :-\

Hardcoat that sucker black, sink her back about 1.5-2.5"

Ya can probobly get away with covering the headlights, but doing so just evokes 'wierd' from all of us being so used to the stock RS stuff.

Sorry but I don't like it at all. Even though they are pretty common I think a stock RS grill would look killer.

but the original RS grille will look out of place in such a custom car.

if you change it.. you should modify the rs grille also.. perhaps spraying it black then paint the slats orange. or mound billet slats over orange.

I have seen your car and the detail and paint are killer. The grille is just too 80's looking. Maybe use the stock lamp bucket portin painted car color and keep your billet in the center only. The paint is such a stand out that you just do not need the custom grille.

Default grill

Try cutting the grill to fit in between the two headlights inside of
the area that leads to the radiator

Paint the structure behind the grill black, and recess the grill. It will look more like a '68 grill with chrome strips. The worst part about it is the orange behind it.
