WOW. I'm still in shock it's plastic Being up close and "personal" with the real wire mesh grill from the previous V's makes it kinda disappointing to hear these new V's are plastic. It looks so real, I've actually always thought it's a real wire mesh. Damn. I would actually like the grill to be black(the fake mesh) and the trim around the grill be the way it is(platinum finish). ... but I would still buy the car. Gotta love the LS9

Looks like the hood will fly off at high speeds. There is too much of a grabbing lip near the edge and with any air turbulance i can see that thing making lift. For us guys that go 160+ sometimes, i might be stickin hood pins on...

ur rite about that lift-off, i fear it with mine at 150 plus as it starts to ripple and lift at high speed,... its very unerving to say the least...acctually i think hood pins would look sweet and might just look into it. has any1 had a hood lift on them? just curious as the stories pertaining to that are always worth hearing.
