Default S2000 Shark Teeth Front End

I want to do the teeth fromt end for my s2000 for Halloween. I don't want any permanent amd something easy to do. Anyone have any tutorials? I was thinking maybe just using sheet metal and trying to get it to line up where the front plastic grill lines up. Like I said I want it to be temporary just for Halloween! Any help would be cool! Thanks!

Metal sounds too problematic for a number of reasons. Cost. Likelihood to scratchup paint, injury to persons, etc.

What about plastic? Like a sheet of abs. Or that signboard stuff? (Corrugated plastic, think plastic version of cardboard box material).

This would also have advantage of being easier to secure. Even just with duct tape.

Is this just for that day, or are you going to drive around with this setup for a while?

I would go for foam or wood and secure them with zip ties and double side tapes.

I did my car up as Lightening McQueen last year. I made the teeth out of foamcore board and just wedged them into place. You could cut the teeth from white board and glue it to black. Keep in mind that this method will block your radiator. Here's a link to my post from last year. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-ta.../#post24095496

I'd be very weary about putting metal on the front end for a plethora of reasons.
I'd maybe use cardboard.
