Custom grille or kit?

Postby 55chevy » 24 Apr 2014 20:00

Saw this TR7 Delmon Perry has for sale on TRExchange, I like the fiberglass bumpers, not sure about the 'smiling' grille, if I was good at photoshop it would be interesting to invert it, maybe look like an AC Ace style. Or make an oval, rectangle. how about a split grille with two wedge shapes? Who has any pictures of other ones? (I've seen the Viper kit and previous threads on body kits)

Tim at http://www.morspeedperformance.com/parts.cfm did that kit.

He sold his TR7, but I think still comes to this site every once in a while.

I think the thing that most people don't like ,not a good choice of words, but bugs them is on the Stallion the grill is narrower.
I think it would look a little better

It would certainly help with cooling if you had a hot V8 in the thing.

I seriously considered importing one to Oz, when we had so much trouble keeping the 4.6L cool in traffic.
