IMO another failed attempt to try to improve upon the original design.

I have seen much worse looking front fascias. I don't think it too bad, but I would not pay for the conversion.

Funny, I think it's a step in the right direction. The stock / Z06 / aftermarket grills are all way too busy with the mesh fill. Forgiato's the only group that's gotten it right by my book with the styling on their "active grill" setup, now if only they'd release that design without the "active grill" setup.
