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.

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! ;)
