Thanks! The grille was purchased years ago from a forum member "donoutwest". I'm pretty sure this design is no longer available. There's a similar billet style grille available on ebay I believe, but it's recessed inward. The cf vented hood was purchased from another forum member "Mad_Med05X".

Thanks, man! I have new pads (crazy expensive!!) and will take a little time to wear them in. Stops great already though...

Attachment 27167

Attachment 27168Thanks, for the info on the grill and hood. I am looking for small things to make my car stand out at the shows, although I have won a couple. I did paint the grill, didn't care for the black and added the wheels and changed the interior to a carbon fiber look. I don't have a ton of $ so I have to be conservative, ( I spent it all on the motor, Rob, at Needswings and Jerry Thornton at Eurocharged have it).

Much appreciated!!! I'll be entering it into various car shows next year to show off a bit and nab a little recognition for our beloved Crossfires...

Yeah, know exactly where you're coming from. It took me 6 years to get the car to look and perform the way it does today...spent approximately $12,000 on mods over that time. It's a damn expensive hobby..

By the way, Mad_Med05X is willing to make more of the vented hoods with enough interest. You should jump on this if you have the funds. The hood really makes a big statement and changes the appearance of the front of the car..

Len, yours is easily my favorite car on the forum. Wheels, brakes, engine work, the Königseder rear fascia, all of it... it's simply perfect.

Very well-done.
