IMHO, it looks like something that belongs more in a Cadillac than S.

I like Dennis' grill better - more subtle-ly aggressive (oxymoron, I know), not to mention it's more functional.

Older folks might like it.

I too bought/installed Dennis' grill and like the fact that it is less noticeable than the aluminum would be.

Can you put inserts or openings for driving/fog lights?

Also, how about different colors, black would be subtle.

RossoS2K,

As you think about this you might want to do a search on the web for "expanded metal." I came accross some sites a few months ago that had some patterns that I thought would look great as a grille for the S2K. Some of them were very Ferrari-like. Unforunately, I didn't save the URLs.

Does anyone know where I can get finer mesh grill material... like grill craft's but in a larger sheet? Grill craft won't sell me a sheet. I was hoping to cover my "faux" inlets with grill material after I cut them out for air intakes...
