Black!

The silver, at least to me, stands out to much. The black blends better with the surrounding black pieces. JMO...

Black looks sweet. How bout this license plate bracket. Much better looking IMO vs the other one listed.

Maybe its possible to order one and cut out a tiny piece on the top of your material to make room. Most likely wouldnt even been seen due to the bottom of the license plate..

I have one of the license plate brackets, so if you need any specific measurements, let me know.

Doug,

I'd like to be added to the list for the lower grill cover. Black would work for me. I have a Vista Blue 2008 GT/CS. Thanks, Marty

Marty, Don and Bill, on the list. Wow its growing.

Good news, things are looking good with the prototyping, we are now looking into buying the materials.. Billit Alum. Waiting for a few more bids and should be placing an order later this week. it may be possible to have these done before Christmas.

Jimmy, the GT does not fit, that is why I am making one for me and all my friends on TMS.

I too would be interested in a black one. I've got quite a few dings in the AC condensor now, and they're visible from a distance.

Thanks for working this out for all of us.

I have the latest group added to the growing list Thanks all for your susport.

Next prototype??? nope were going into production in the next few weeks Unless you see something that needs changing.
The prototype was made from 1/8 alum and spray painted black ( right now it is double sticky taped to the front of my car), the final piece will be make from 1/4 T-4 alum and black powdercoated.

As for attachment, we are working an a pair of brackets the screw into a plate on the bottom and into the bumper support at the top. This will require some removal of the skid plate on the front and some drilling. The reason for this is to prevent any sagging of that gaping hole in the front as time goes along. At first we looked at using double sticky tape but looking at a number of things we felt the lower chin spoiler needed some support so we opted for brackets. Also if all surfaces were not cleaned properly it would come flying off, not a good thing. I like the more permanent approach.

I am with Doug on this one, use a good quality falt black paint and your condensor and cooling lines simply fade away up under there.
