Thoughts on my front end

[Nathan.pocketlint]

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new here, bought my sho
around 6 months ago and it's currently replaced my hobby of video games for working on my car every weekend and afternoon, I wanted to know your thoughts about the front grills I've installed/modified, some of it still needs some finer finish work but I think she's starting to look good. My buddy at work took these pictures after he parked next to me. I eventually want to make my own custom bumper, I just need to find the time and space to do it lol

Looks good, there are no custom parts to retofit like stands. Good luck with custom work. Check eBay as a possible place. I got my rear window wing from ebay like 9 years ago.

Yeah I've been looking at just about every place where I could find stuff, just about all of it has to be custom it seems, right now I'm working on making some custom badges/sidevents will post some pictures after I'm done.

Looks good. Did you wrap the grill surround or replace the chrome one? I did a chrome delete with wrap film.

I wrapped mine, however you can still acquire, this is for knowledge, the PI grill which is all black and no chrome.

Yes from what I can tell most anything for this platform has to be custom, even the parts that were available were discontinued, Im personally looking for an interstate road sign to cut out into a splitter. its a niche car but worth the effort, I bought a 3D printer 6 months into owning mine. Here is a 3D printed side vent badge I was working on, I started playing with the design but shifted focus. What do you have in mind for making yours?

Sorry I got busy with life events and at work so I haven't had much time to mess with the custom work I wanted, I was thinking about turning them into actual vents and adding in leds for sidemarkers for the turn signals,
This is what I currently have and I've gotten alot of compliments since changing to these, I got the bull emblems off Etsy and the vent inserts from ebay, debadged the whole car, I spent the whole afternoon talking about it with some cars salesman the other day while getting my aunt a car. It is hellcat inspired lol

I originally wrapped my chrome one then painted it, eventually I just bough a all black one from ebay, for some reason the chrome on mine no matter what I did wouldn't let the paint stick very well, I'm probably going to remove the chrome trim around the doors and actually remove the chrome and paint them black, I'm currently just going for a silver and black theme, eventually I wanna repaint the car to a dark wine red, with matte black accents

Honestly if I couldn't get the color I want I'd totally go with that, a dude where I work has a 2008 gt350 in the color scheme I want, I already asked him if he'd sell it, he said he gonna be buried in it lol
