Looks much better with the stripes

I agree, I used the same "line" as the slanted calipers so when the light hits it right it looks really cool.

I like the plasti dipped grill. Might have to do that to mine now.

 

[VenomTruck]

Go for it, took 10 minutes and if you hate it later just peel it off. Only thing is it darkens the front up quite a bit, but Im working on that too. Check back!

I just saw it, I have it posted on 4 separate areas of craigslist and I had one person come look at it. I have it on autotrader and I am contemplating ebay but haven't had great luck with ebay.

Took the ugly hood scoop insert out. Heres some pics and tips.

Heres how bad mine looked:


Mine was in particularly bad shape, the plastic was so brittle that when I tried to remove the retainers, the post just snapped:



So basically I was at the point of no return, so I just broke off the brackets from the scoop that hold the insert in place:



When I broke off the post, they didnt all come off clean. So I just sanded it down untill the remainder of the post was gone, and hit it with some touch up paint:



Next step is to fix any scrapes from the sandpaper and get rid of all the contamination where the insert used to be with some compund:



And here is the finished product! At this point you can add a screen/mesh or whatever but Im leaving mine wide open.:



Also, as I said on the other post along with Scott, water and junk flying into this isnt going to hurt anything, but you could still stuff a towel in there when you wash your car.

I did that on my first 10 and I definitely liked the look a lot better than the factory grill. Great job!

Great Job!! Good to have another mind that thinks outside the box and not afraid to mod:chain:

Here's what mine looks like and everyone in person always looks through the unobstructed hole to see a Viper coiled on the intake ;-)

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Here's what they see when they peek in.
