Well champs, I took the plunge and ordered the E&G Classic Vertical (Rolls Royce Grill) and had it installed last Thursday. I will say for the record I was orginally not overwhelmed by the lack of a tight fit with the front of the car or the fact that the grill stuck up a little above the hood line. It isn't bad, but not a complete factory look. It wasn't so bad that I immedietely came to a conclusion that it needed to come right back off, but my cousin who was with me kept telling it looks so much better. I agreed it looked different, but was willing to see how other people reacted to the look. While driving it home, we started to notice people on the street and in cars pointing at the car. My first thought was, great my car looks like crap now, but after a few more people were pointing, I realized the smiles seemed to be in apprecitation of the car, and not from laughing at it.
We took the car to Indy on Friday to get some additional modifications done and noticed more people pointing and heads turning and I started to feel a little better about the grill and thought what the heck, I'll start counting the ones I do catch actually pointing their fingers at the car. After driving around all weekend and having people comment on the car and reaching a final number of 43 "pointers" by the end of today, I am 100% satisfied with the decision to add this mod to my Black (Stallion) SRT-8!
As a point of reference, I've owned my Black SRT-8 for almost 4 months and drive it whenever I get the chance, but have gotten 50x more attention these last 4 days than I have over the last 4 months.
I don't know if this mod is for everyone or if anyone will feel the same way, but I don't care. I added the mod to get the car more recognition for what it is. One Bad to the Bone, American (foreign Manufacted) muscle car and now it looks it.
Let the opinions fly.....
