after alot of photoshop, i finally did it. went to the sign shop and got a length of vinyl, and cut it up into 2-3/16" strips. i like it --

 

i like it, looks fast. You didn't like them over the drivers front wheel?

 

the stripes....remind me of the grand sport corvette in 96'.

 

Great stripes and very sporty! Next is getting it lowered!

 

I love it, I would think you had a Saleen engine in that Crossfire.

 

that's awesome.

 

i played with the fender stripes idea a while ago, https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6068, but i couldn't get it to look as good as it did on the Miata, and i liked the way this turned out much better.

 

Here are my fun New Stripes....

Oh ya, I like it NXMX5. It kind of gives it that Classic Shelby Feel.

 

Saskin i really like that grill, where did you find it?

 

I found it in my mind, and then went into my shop and built it. That's ASK Racing For Ya!

 

is it possible to use a thicker gauge mesh (aka strut) so you don't see the horn, etc. behind the grill?

and is it possible to bring the mesh grill out toward the bumper like the original grill line did?

 

i kinda like the new gap that the grille makes... matches the headlights.

 

Ya, actually I had a couple different versions. I wanted to add some depth to the car. The Crossfire's lines are already so very classy, and bold. The car seems like it wants to stretch from front to back, so I wanted to give it a center. What I mean is, the car seems like the line all want to flare out. So with everything wanting to push out, I wanted to bring a look that brings you to the center of the car. The heart if you will I still have a few more idea's, next time I'll take pictures of all my mock-up's.

Oh ya, the answer is yes as far as the different sized mesh. I liked the Honey Comb look, There are about 10 different mesh patterns that can be done. As well as Brushed, polished, or even painted.

 

where did you buy the mesh? i have been looking everywhere and i can't find anything that would work.

 

this may work.

I get the mesh through my materials distributor.

 

Don't want to see what is behind your grille???
Use black fiberglass window screen material. Cut it and attach it behind the grille opening with monofilament fishing line. All you will see is black and the bugs won't stick in your radiator fins either because they never get that far!!!
I started doing that years ago with Street Rods that had exposed Radiator Fins.

 

Here's a link for the mesh: http://www.autodirectsave.com/MeshGrille.asp Scroll down the page a little to see the stainless. If you don't want to see anything behind the grill, use two layers and offset slightly so that the layer behind fills the gap in the front layer. Looks very nice.
