What a great forum we have. Out of all the shades I sent out without payment first,Everyone has paid up. Kuto's for CrossfireForum.org. I wouldn't have ever offered any product up front for E-Bay. And LantanaTX even sent a $5.00 tip ! Squirrel Crusher

Nice looking hood Mike. Just finished making up an awesome wideband side dash mount pod from a junked Dodge small sized A/C dryer. Will hopefully be sending out my second style front grille to be cromed shortly. The first grille I had on at the fall Dragon was kinda WAY OVER KILL. See Ya..Squirrel Crusher

It was rather overkill, but impressive work none the less. Can't wait to see what you cooked up this time...

Almost finished the grille. All aluminium. It's a hard decision between chrome or power coat. Design was inspired by watching the World News. Where Iran had captured our Survalence Drone. I'm trying hard to be more conserative this time. It's just three Drone's flying in formation. Squirrel Crusher

Revisiting a very old post here of mine from 05/04/2011
Had these in a drawer in the garage for 4 years now.
Just for kicks I lightly put my SSB aircraft aluminum painted eyebrows from my previous SSB Coupe on my Aero Blue Roadster.
Not fastened tightly...just for the pic
I sort of like the look since they match the window surround.
Probably will get them painted Aero Blue but wanted to throw this out here to get some feedback

To each his or her own, I vote 'gawky' (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gawky), painted or not.

These were a popular styling element on a number of vehicles at the time. Some cars still look good with them. I can see these making an SRT look even more aggressive.

Observe the lowly neon, without the eyelids or SRT treatment:


And now with the SRT and eyelid treatment:


You may not like Neons. That's OK. The point is that the eyelids give a more aggressive, angry look.
