Default Front Fascia

I'm looking for a front clip that looks similar to the GT500, I remember seeing a pic a long time ago, and I can't find it now. Like the GT500 front end, the pillars between the lights and grille are angled inward instead of straight up and down like the typical GT (did that make sense?). All the GT front clips I've found are pretty much the same on those pillars.

Anyway, feel free to post pics of any front fascia that you like, but I'd be more interested in those that are little-known or a little more unique. Anything similar to the GT500 would be cool if anyone knows any knock-off "tribute" type front ends.

It's not a cost issue really, I just like to stay off the beaten path so to speak.

Not exactly, but that one is pretty nice. If the pillars between the lights and grille were slanted instead of vertical... it'd be the exact one that I remember seeing.

But, now I'm interested. With the right chin spoiler, that one would look pretty darn good.

Why not just go with the real thing? Looks like CutterWolf did it on his 05 GT, very sharp!

Yeah, and the kit costs over $2k

*but I agree... IF the money is available, then it's the way to go.

Cheaper than buying a GT500!

I don't want to put any evil thoughts in your head, but this Lambo was headed to Vegas according to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_0LS6eU2dY
