They do if you switch Internet providers,  like going from Comcast to att. that's probably what he did.

Damn those look good. Now I remember why this is such a popular thread. Totally changes the front end look.

SA, when did you say these were going to be ready?

You haven't gotten yours yet?  I shipped out yours and Bobby's last week.  I guess I can email you another set.

I already made copies and going out to install them today also made a copy for my Model to match . SA the wholes were a real bummer to cut out though . They do look good . Gonna make 12 extra sets so when they get wet I can change them.

 You the    :tool:  Man  :thumbs:  Just have to wait for the real thing .  :poke:    ;)

Think the recessed grills help to alleviate the Solstice looks like a tennis shoe insults.  :roll: Maybe the next batch can have some great white shark teeth designed & molded into them... :devil:

BTW, what type of composite is planning to be used?

I can't say I have heard the tennis shoe thing either.

As for materials that has yet to be determined.

I've heard that shoe comment referring to the SSR but never the Solstice.

I read the comment a few times, though it may have originated or possible morphed from the original; Viper.

Those grill fins are so uneven I'm guessing it would leave a very stubbly finish....

That is a factory Mercury Cougar Grill W/ the hide-A-way headlights not  an  after market peice . If you've been fliped that many times
you would be a little uneven too.

Victor Kiam is an ass. He tried to move the Patriots to St Louis because he was broke. He was broke because he was a jack ass.

I have the Aftershock grills though after they sat around for 2 years waiting for me to clean off all the flash. So I'm not sure why I read all this...

It's called addiction. I sold my car 6 months ago and I still read all this.
Unfortunately for most of you, I still post here too! ;)

Very interested Dave! Is this a one of, or will there be more? If so, is it the entire front end or just grills? Never mind, I had to go back and read from the beginning.  :idk: :idk: :idk:
