thilly thtock muthtang

thats just the outside though...it took me two entire years of ownership before i got myself into visual stuff. everything until now has been hidden/not visable/performance stuff. got myself into the 12s with 110 trap speed, raped an m3 or two around some corners, then though to myself "it performs about as good as i need it to, so lets make it look like it performs as well as it does". every is entitled to their opinion though.

No chin spoiler in the future? It might look cool if you left it black... or paint it and then at least have your stripes continued onto it..

Yeah, that would actually look really good. Your car looks lowered already,so you might as well go all the way and put on a bad as chin spoiler. The cdc agressive looks awesome and would look great with your stripes and your future wheels.

Sometimes having the lights moved in on the grill doesn't look so good to me, but I really like how yours look with the grill and the stripes together. It does sound like you've got a heckuva showcar in the making.

Let us know how the grill works out in the heat. I know somebody that has one that said his engine got hot because the lights blocked off to much air from the radiator. He is blowen though, but I can see where it could be an issue in like Texas or some place like that.

You talking about me? If so just to clarify what I posted on TMS, the car didn't get hot, I said it ran warm. And I suspected it to be the grill but not because of the fog light placement but because of the way it was made. On a stock grill, each end of it is blocked off. On the SS grill and the KSR grill both ends are open. With the stock grill being blocked off, it basically forces all the air that hits the front of the car through the radiator. Where as with the aftermarket grills such as this one it allows air to go around the grill and takes some of the air pressure off of the grill.

Actually I have been doing a little testing with different setups and also doing a little investigating. Apparently we are just going to have to live with the fact that in this heat these cars are going to run in the 210-220 degree range on the freeway with the AC on. I have asked people in the north east, and in the south west. Doesn't matter if they are running a KB, a Saleen or N/A. Everyone's temps are within 5 degrees or so of each other on a 100 degree day, freeway driving, running the AC.

Sad part is, if you don't have an aftermarket tempature gauge you will never know. My stock gauge reads exactly the same from 160 degrees to 220 degrees. And still doesn't even go up half way.

It might have been you Hawgman and one of the reasons I want to put an aftermarket temp gauge in so when I change stuff (grill, pullys etc.) I can see what effect if any they have.
I absoutly love that grill. I'm still thinking and saving for the next mod..

I've got the same tail light bezel. Several manufacturers have released them.
