Thanks man! :) I had no idea how it would look, but DYAAM it looks HOT, I'm so pleased that I got this one! :nod:

I also like the fact that it's 100% carbon fiber, dude you should've seen how thin & light this sucker was!!!

I love the way when the light hit's it, it almost looks 3D...I'm quite pleased with it. :)

looks really nice man!

soooo much nicer than those cheap ass billet grilles or removing the stock one and leaving the tab holes

paspar2 01-16-2006 01:03 AM

That's how I had it before, didn't look TOO bad I guess cuz it was black, but now it just cleaned up the front end BIG TIME! :)

Oh and thanks bud! I'm really pleased the way it came out and the way it looks too!

RK Sport sells them, I wanted just a regular front end that covered the Camaro and the tab holes, I was going to get the Wings West fiberglass one but apparently they were sold/went bankrupt/closed/whatever, RK Sport had a fiberglass one, but it had "RKSPORT" indented in it :eyes: I didn't want THAT, one of my buds that used to work there told me about the carbon fiber one, I figured I was going to buy it and just paint it black...

But when I looked it I thought DANG it looks good, so I just bought the SS badge from SLP, had the grill clear-coated and polished, slapped the SS on, waxed it, and there ya go!

I was going to paint it black too Dan, but once I did a fitment check I thought it looked very nice as it was, so I stuck with it...

I've actually heard of some places where they can add some black paint to clearcoat and give it a "smoked" appearance, you might consider that as well.

Oh yeah Dan, LOVE your avatar in the Hawaii site!!! :devil:

Looks great. That's pretty cool it doesn't have the rksport logo on it. I thought it did. That's the whole reason i bought mine from dgmotorsports. The Rk one is cheaper. If i had known that i would have saved myself at least $50. :ripped: :)

that grill is nice....

Trev_SS 01-16-2006 01:50 PM

damn that looks good

dayum that looks nice. i've really been needing a new grill. I've still got the factory crap cake one. How do you think the carbon fiber one would look on my pewter SS? any possible photoshops?

I think the cars that look best with carbon fiber are:

1.) Black-OBVIOUSLY!!! :lol:
2.) White
3.) Red
4.) Silver
5.) Pewter

I like the pewter scenario because the carbon fiber has a color that's a bit of pewter-ish in it, you can see it in the pics that I took.

How about NBM?

SuperChannelKev has a CF air dam as well (at least last I knew), so maybe he'll post up in here. I saw it in person out in CA last summer at the Good Guys car show, looked pretty damn sweet.

MosesMcgregor 01-18-2006 11:25 PM

Carbon fiber on NBM doesn't seem to flow too well in my eyes, But hey if the owner of the NBM likes it then that's what really matters... :)
