I am looking to do a custom grill for my GXP, but I am not too fond of the only choice I have seen. Which looks very industrial and a bit airflow restrictive. My GXP is Dark Cherry and I think something in Black Chrome might look nice.

File comment: See how dense this is, with an engine that runs as hot as this one does, I would think this would hurt things

You and me both. I don't like these ones much either, and for now, it's the only choice we have.

Are you planning on doing your own? If you do, don't cover the fogs like the ones from wbody store. It just doesn't look right. It needs to be like the stock grille IMO.

I agree on the driving lights being visible, and whould have it no other way. I would need to find a fabricator or at least someone that can bend metal the right way.

There was a honeycomb material that was on that site in chrome. I think that would look nice, while still giving that upgraded look
