Negative, the grille is designed to match the future hood scoop. A wider opening would've called for a wider cumbersome scoop.

That is pretty sweet dude. Talk about having a custom part! How much money and time did it take you from start to finish?

Ty all.

All in all about 3-4 weeks total time, and $125.00 total.

I got a real real cool idea for the interior console too. Nobody's thought of it yet. I wasn't going to post it, but after showing it to Steeda Owner and engineers in my portfolio, I really don't care if it gets stolen. I'll post in a few days.

The look is not really my style but the part looks really good.
