The one in the middle looks best. To bad you can't trim the beze with a dremel. I'll still buy it at this price though and fool around with it. Probably make my own surround out of fiberglass.

The center spind must be thicker at top than on the bottom to match the line coming from the hood and into the bumper right?

I think the closest we are going to get is the one from Grille4U. I added the bar to middle with a pair of chrome strips (one narrow and one wide) That will take care of the center spine if you prefer. Just waiting on them to grant my distributorship. Hoping they give me an answer this week. If they do, I am targeting lower prices than they are now charging for forum members and I will include the chromed center spines if you want them.

The grille in this picture, if done to scale, has a 1" mesh. The G4U grille is 1/4" and faceted. If is far more rigid and does a better job of hiding the hardware behind the grille. This one also has no real frame to hold it and no way to support the top edges that have to be cut down to allow your hand to reach the release for the hood. The only way this grille could have been produced is if it was made of plastic or resin. That would involve around $10K just for the mold. Bottom line is, this and several others were, and are still, merely pictures.

I like the picture in the middle as well. Takes the look of the big mouth looking at you away. Very nice.

cool....I have a black roadster with his grille...I will see if I can find a photo to post up



Well, that is an old photo, I have since pulled the right and left side in so it fits flush. You will have to work with it to get it to the right contour of the bumper cover. You can see my one filter is loose...lol.. That has been fixed long ago as well..
