I don't see anything in that link. There is of course billet for the GT that eliminates the fogs as well but I suspect like me, you don't want to do that.

fairlane, I was using my infinite wisdom, and I thinking that maybe you and your almighty fabbing and designing talents should create a billet for our car and one that matches for the lower section with our Aggressives since no one makes them yet... what do you say? [8D]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I was going to do the OE grill w/o fogs and w/o pony but while I have one doner GT grill I'd probably need 2 V6 grills to pull that off. (and now I like the fogs at night; everything is just so lit up) Billet I have not worked with; all my metal fab is in steel (too heavy for grill work). I doubt you'll see a billet grill that keeps the fogs; it would be pricey for sure as incorporating light housings in billet will make the product quite involved and thus expensive in this low volume market . The problem with the lower grill on the CDC Aggressive is that the opening can hardly hold itself up. They need to give the underside some solid firm structure/frame, possibly in honeycomb. Right now there is just not enough meat there to mount a grill. ...although with the reinforcement you are doing a lightweight billet lower grill wouldn't weigh much and may be possible. Best bet I suppose is to watch for something similar and slightly larger that you can cut down to size. Mounting is the challenge here, but working with another product will be a lot easier than fabbing one from scratch.

You know me I like the "big mouth" opening. I have to switch cars with my daughter and see what this looks like coming up behind me on the highway. ...like you once said, looks like it's gonna swallow you up (lol)
