I like it dude it looks good. :thumbs:

I like it. It is cool Racemesh built you a one off grill.

This was the first one they did, but I think they did it with the intention to get one out there and sell them. So, pretty sure they are going to offer the once piece as an option on their website, in addition to the 12 chamber factory grille layout they currently have.

By the way, does the 48 SuperTruck refer to Ryan?

I get that completely. Was just a little surprised at how much of it there was. Certainly figured there would be those that didn't like it, just didn't expect them to be so vocal!! LOL. I guess I opened the can of worms with my UNINTENTIONAL insult to the factory grille. I tried to correct it and rename the title, but it wouldn't let me. Certainly didn't mean to offend anyone by any means. Plus, I just checked my inbox and was quite shocked with how many private messages I had asking for information about where to get it. Certainly more of those than negative feedback in this thread. So there are definitely plenty who like it as well. As was already said, in this particular case, I'm the ONLY one who has to like it!! :yesnod:

And I agree with the rest of what you said. We do with our cars as we choose based on our own personal tastes. This grille would not look good on all C7's. But with the other mods that I've done, I think it fits MY car perfectly and ties in with everything I've done. It's now complete and I can finally give it its first full detail!

Hey your corvette looks like my old Honda civic from back in the day

raspyc6 01-22-2014 11:20 PM

I think it looks just fine as it is simple, light and functional.

Wow, that chicken wire looks quite cheap.

I'm in the same situation . Way more people that actually see mine like it but in reality, the only thing that matters is I really like MY CAR THE WAY I've changed it!!!!!
:thumbs::thumbs:to you on YOUR CAR.
Any thought on the mesh in the vents?
