That looks nice man. I like the v8 on the front too. I got a 69 tri-pony coming for mine that I'm gonna try and paint the pony the best matching gold I can find..
What happened when you were cutting it? Did the plastic whiten where you cut or was it just not looking right all together? Also have you noticed any high speed hood flutter that Wilk referred to?
I just got my car back from the audio place tonight, gonna test fit the grill over the oem tomorrow and if it looks good I may just leave it as is. I'm not sure how much it will effect airflow anyways, the billet is decently spaced, we'll see.
@monkey- If I do decide to cut it I'll take pics just in case it actually turns out well lol.

Yup ... installed the Saleen grill yesterday ... but I think he is waiting for the entire body kit ... so far only the grill is available.
Although you can order the grill now and use it with the factory bumper cover... and then swap it to the Saleen bumper when you buy it.

Well I did it. I had to cut out the pony at least or it wouldn't even fit, not to mention look really odd lol.
But after all was said and done it came out ok except I scraped the bottom of the housing with the damn jigsaw. Now I gotta find another oem to re-cut lol. But all in all I still like it better than the pony. Still awaiting tri-bar

Click pics for descriptions. They're pretty much in order.
Got a dual exhaust vid that I wanna post as well. Anyone know a good/free program to convert .mov to .avi? I could post as is but wanna edit it first...too long.
