Arrow Ram Air Hood Grilles - WS6 & SS - stainless steel in here

Okay guys, here are the much anticipated grilles. The WS6 grilles are polished in the photos you see here. These mount using your existing factory ram air grille screws.

The SS insert has "RAM AIR" cut out of the top using the CAMARO font. Look at the close up shot, and you can see that my horizontal bars do not interfere with airflow, so your ram air hood still has it's functionality.
Enjoy guys. Let me hear what you think

Hmmmmmmm...I was kinda hoping for the same honeycomb pattern or something like it for the grille insert. Would that be an option, or are you pretty set on producing those SS inserts?

ok, so explain to me again how exactly these are going to attatched to the hood? are they just basically overlays on the existing grilles?

i think the WS6's look awesome, but not really liking the SS. i think a honeycomb pattern like on the WS6 grille would look good on the SS. i would even like to see something different like flames, angled bars, etc... it just looks like there is too much closed space on those, needs to be more open. the ram air looks cool, but the letters arent complete, ie, the R is missing the middle, so is the A. maybe do them in a different font to allow those middles to stay.

anyway, thats just my opinion. i plan on getting a couple of things from you, but all at once, so lets see what you come up with. very nice job man, props for doing this and making such a good looking product for us!

Yeah...maybe if you just didn't do the top lettering and kept with the same width bars all the way across, it would look better to me...it does just look too closed off.

The "R" and the "A" both still have their centers. They are just hard to see from the picture because the laser has discolored the surface. I will have polished pics up tomorrow.

Also, these will mount over the existing grill, and are to be held in place with a small screw and a nut.

For the SS grille: as others have mentioned, I would like to see some other variations, like maybe the WS6 honeycomb or some angled vertical bars or some thinner, even width full width horizontal bars...and without the lettering. I do like the way it sits within the factory insert...

how about the side vents on each side of the car......i don't want to do the top without the bottom. the ws6 vents look great, and i will buy a set if you can make me some for the sides.
thanks,
rob

With the SS grille insert, we cannot really do the honeycomb pattern . We could, but you might have a problem getting it to form fit with the factory insert. There has to be some flex in the metal, and the honeycomb pattern makes it pretty stout. So, with the WS6 grilles it doesn't matter because they are flat. The SS grille has to be curved on the ends, and this may damage the metal if it were a honeycomb style. We can do something different next time, but it needs to be feasible. If we were to cut that honeycomb pattern is the SS grille, it would be very costly - trust me. As for now, all we have is this style grille, and we can't make any more until our current supply in diminshed. I will sell them on here, and Ebay. Once I don't have to keep more laying in my garage, I will make more. I believe I have around 20 of them cut correctly (some were programmed wrong, and offset by an 1/8"). I believe that once some of you guys see the polished finish you will like it - not all of you, but some.

BTW Levi, I'm on the way.

UPDATED PICS. Polished SS is up, and looks much better than the unpolished version. Also, installed pics of WS6 screens on the Cannibal

I would have, but the car was up on stands because the Cannibal is undergoing some changes. The garage had tools and such, and a zoomed out picture would be cluttered.

Trust me, these things just look great. At the right angle, they look like they are lights because they shine so much.
