Default grill for lower air ducts on the front of a TA ~edit: photoshop'ed images

im thinkin about making a grill for my 00 trans am that will go in the air ducts under the front blinker lights. i think it would be a good lookin and different appearance mod for the TA (not many TA appearance mod selections look good) iv been thinkin about it for some time now...and i think it may be worth a shot. whats your opinions on this?? just wondering!

Do it and post pics. Then I'll let you know what I think. Sounds like a good concept tho...

Go for it, i was thinking the same thing. That and...making some ram air screens for the spaces under the ram air hood and putting a hinge on one to access the hood latch.

I think making grills for the lower air duct would be a sweet idea. I thought about doing this as well. There was guy with a black formula who make some silver custom grills on his firebird and it looked sweet.

it could look really good, but it would depend on the style you do it in. if its the typical horisontal bar style, i don't think it will look good. if you could get it to be a honeycomb shape, i think it would look good. hard to tell without seeing it though

i think its a horrible idea, . . i think puttin screens there would be cheap lookin and tacky, . . but thats me, . . what im really wantin to do is put some extra OEM lights there, from the ones on top, . . i think that would look badass

I did it about 5 years ago and you really cant see it that good,I guess because I mounted mine on the back side.
