This is my new grill for the VX. ;Db; I had no input in this design. But Im sure I can make a few changes for the next one. I would probably add about three more lines to the design. And I get that one finalized we can work on a lazer cut grill. But for that we need designs. Did I hear Fangs? ;Db;

Sweet! It looks like it is curved from the side picture. Is that the case? Looks really good.

Nice effort! It does look curved, which is sharp. Does look like a Chrysler now though... ;pg;

Yup! Its curved. I wish I had a trim around the edges to finish it all up. Its my little drifferent VX on the road. ;Do;

How about a shot from further out so we can get an idea of the overall effect?

Here is the picture you wanted WyrreJ. FANGS! How about a grill that has some kind of eyes... Inside those eyes a bracket that will hold red lights. ;Dr; hum... red eyes to match my interior color. Then the fangs below the eyes. ;eekr; LOL! it must not be summer here in Arizona. I have all this time for mods. I just installed another sub in the rear door with a audiobahn grill. ;pr;

HEY SURGE! wassup! I guess we did not make it to Japan this past October. Some stupid bills came up so my money was spent elsewhere. :cryr: I still want to come up and visit you guys and maybe see a Japanese VX meet. Don't worry about asking me to bring you something special. I will bring the cherry coke and M&M cookies. Hope you and he missy are doing well. Did I hear you guys are having a baby? :lookr:

Si jeffe!
You guys are always welcome here, I`ll show ya Japan like only a native can!;)
Wow you remember my love for cherry coke and m&m cookies;eekb; amazing....I hope my little Dutchman will share my love for VX`s, cherry coke, and m&m cookies!
As a matter of fact, if we all can hold on to our VX`s for a few more years, I`ll take him with me to the US for a VX meeting, a good burger, some lovely Mexican food, and hooters!;Do;

VCAM, very stylish. Not my thing, but it definately stands out.

Now, for my negative "opinion". I think it makes the front end look LARGE. Reminds me of a Ford F-250 now. Perhaps by adding more chrome around your VX, it will even it out some? Just a suggestion.

Keep on pioneering!

The shop will be making some of these grills for $160.00 plus shipping. Brackets and all will be included. All aluminum and powder coated in any color you want. Mine was powder coated black with a polish front. You can also have the entire thing polished but I think that's about $50.00 more. Anyone interested?

Does anyone here have good idea for the lazer cut inserts? :confused: They are ready to roll on that.

Dutchie, just an FYI, in america, hooters with a small "h" means breasts, Hooters with a capital "h" means the resturant :D

i assume you meant the latter

I think it looks pretty cool, Victor. I like that the ribs are contoured to match the curves. Your shop did a good job. Might look exceptionally cool in solid flat black too.

Apostle,
Who said anything about a restaurant?!:D
But it`s funny how language works, last week a US friend told me how big his wife`s fanny had become...;eeky; It took me a while to figure out that he meant her butt!
And you should have seen the reactions when I wrote in the VMAG forum how I like to smoke a fag, while I`m driving...;)

hey Vic...

Looks good! Kinda reminds me of the front end of a PT Cruiser with this side shot. Just a suggestion, it may look cleaner with a border trim around the whole grill. Great effort and results.

Alaska...

I might have something that you might be interested in. I'll try to post a pic when I can.

I do agree about the having a trim all around. But I stil havent figured it out yet. Hum... Im thinking hard about that one. I bet a mold like the ones you have would work. But I would not know where to start. I just wanted something a lil different. The shop is just making them available to whoever wants one.

Hey Vic, what happened to you? I was hoping to have a new black grill under the tree for Xmas but have not heard back from you. I also need it to better conceal the laser blinder - email or call me - money is waiting! Thanks.
