Now taking orders for this product. For those of you who don't care for the spacers that FFR provides, here is a great solution to cosmetically "clean up" this area. It is mounted via bent tabs that are part of the grille that are meant to be bolted or rivetted to the diffuser and body flange. As with all of my products like this, it will be shipped flat and you will be responsible for bending the tabs to fit. Price will be $79 plus shipping. Thanks!



Please try to ignore all of the masking tape and 2x6 prop! ;-)

Brilliant!

Expanding on the suggestion above, I think matching exhaust grills is a great idea. As a matter of fact, matching grill openings all the way around the car makes a lot of sense. I'd work on a package deal to include all openings, and perhaps a few different mesh design options would be cool!

Great work Shane!

Yes, the exhaust grills. If you really wanted to get balls to the walls you could do a matching oval tip ;) to the pattern on the grills...

I've got most of the other openings already covered with my louver offerings....front grille, side-scoop, hood, hatch, rear body...... I do plan on doing something with the exhaust openings yet. I will most likely do something similar to the diffuser grille above and make one version to fit the Kooks and one version to fit the FFR exhaust.

The front grille would fit Gen II only. The exhaust grille would fit either Gen I or II......but I would have to make the mesh size smaller I think to look right......and make a ton of different ones for FFR exhaust tips, older Kooks tips and the newer Kooks tips........and not sure how much smaller I can go with the mesh holes on my plasma and keep it looking nice. Opinions welcome!

Not crazy about the front grille. I think your other one looks much better. For the rear though, I can't imagine anything that would look better than what you have come up with here. :)

Wow!

I actually like the front grille the most and I'm sure it will look even better in color. Blending from the distance with details unveiling as you get closer. Great job Shane.

Very nice job on the grilles. Can the mesh size be reduced for all grilles?
Also, I didn't see where to order the rear grille on the VRaptor website.

Thanks for the great work you are doing!

Just send Shane an email (vraptor@midlands.net from his website) and I'm sure he'll take care of you.
