sorry dude, but I think that is hideous throwup

Makes your SHO look like a pickup truck shrug

 

[thumpida]

well im trying to get the bottom to curve down to match the bumper. if i get it to flow with the bumper it might look better. i want tsomething different and i had this stuff laying around. any ideas?

 

[thumpida]

i really want to see what it would look like with a mesh grill painted black, unfortunetly i dont have any mesh laying around and im poor. i think ill start my own charity.

 

[PROPHET]

I like this one.

 

[Dr. Tweak]

Hey... I like it! It HAS to be curved down towards the bumper for sure, but other than that, nice! Hwo did you do it... what did you use?

I think it would look better if you cut it down enought to get the stock shell around it like the picture prohet posted. That one looks amazing. hail

I agree, although I'd replace the SVT logo with a tuning fork! evil_gri

EDIT: I didn't even notice the clear corners before. They look good against the black. ****

yea i like that better too. i wish i had the stuff to make one like that. i used to have a 93 ranger along with every accessory every made for it. this grill has been in my garage for years. so i dissasembled it bent it cut it welded it back together and stuck it on. unfortuntely as you see i didnt get all the bends right. now that i think about it i think it should have a shell arouund it, but the only one i have is the origional police grill that came on my car and i hate to cut that up. i was hoping to sell it and use the funds to build a new one.or pay for some insurance.

You can get stock sho grills cheap enough on ebay. ****, I have a spare in my basement.

I like this one.

That is freakin HOT!

Agreed about making it "flow" with the rest of the body moldings... it does have potential, but it seems a bit too much, the thickness of the fins, and almost too much chrome... what i do like alot is the mesh grill on the front skirt thumb

well this is mine... sorry about the dark pic

There is usually a limit to the number of lights that can be on a one time at the front of a car. You may want to check your local regulations before getting stopped for a code violation while you light up the world.

 

[SHOMA]

sorry the svt one looks sweet, but the one you molded, looks *** as it is, maybe itd look better if it were molded differently, but thats just my $.02..

 

[marvsho17]

That picture is from my Cardomain site, but it is not my car. It belongs to a guy I know. There is a little additional info about it in this thread.

What makes the pic prophet posted look good is they used the original grill as a border for the chrome strips. Where as thumpa used no border and it doesn't flow to great. But that SVT needs to go on that SHO.

i don't drive whith them on.... they have probably only been on during the dark 2 lane roads with alot of turns w/o street lights... and to pull up behind my friends and blind them

 

[sdpatt]

Oh, and that grill, just no. It reminds me of that photo of the Taurus with the ironing board strapped to the front end in place of a bumper.
