Leo made this grill at SMBW. Plans to have it as an option if all goes good.

They are working on a all black version also. Leo said someone will manufacture these grills. Because no one is making them yet he had to hand make a proto type. They think it will be a positive addition. Wonder what it looks like on a van. Can someone cut and paste this grill on a shot of a van?

My opinion might be slightly biased, but the chrome grille is growing on me. Combine it with the aluminess bumper and black bug bra and its not half bad. Think I will keep it.

I think billeting the middle misses the point- can the whole shebang not be billeted?

I hated the new look at first, but did like the improved function. I have to say once it's dudded up like Charlie's it looks pretty good.

Well I'd like to make a comment about putting lipstick on a pig, but the new front end has grown on me as well. I still prefer the older style, but the initial shock has worn off.

I agree that the new front end is not so bad.... I think I liked the two level top surface of the old ALuminess bumper better.... and we are just not chrome fans.

Charlie's setup looks nice...... but I wonder what it would look like if someone photoshopped in the black grill....???
