Default Would You Consider Putting "Teeth" On Your S?

For the past two days, I've driven next to a silver Miata on my way to work. It's all modded -- style bars, twin pipes, and -- teeth. The driver's installed fangs in the front grille. I've seen the web site where you can get these, but can't remember it now. On a Miata, it actually works well -- it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the road.

Anyway, I've thought from time to time about actually getting a set for my S2000. I try to take a light-hearted approach to driving, and the IDEA of grille teeth appeals to me -- but I just don't know. I have a feeling the concept is more appealing than reality. The S2000 has a different character than the Miata, after all.

So what's your take?

I think our car is too classy for teeth or fangs but that's just me. Howdy neighbor!

I think it would be one of those things that would be fun for a while, but certainly not a classy look. I had 2 Miatas, and was never tempted by the toothy look, but what the hell, if you want them, go for it! If you could take them off really quickly, it might be a quick laugh!

How about just 2 teeth for the "Bugs Bunny" look?

I remember this girl I knew down in Georgia. She'd get real frisky and liked to "nibble" a bit now and then. This one time, when I was lying on my stomach....

Oh, wait... You mean "S" 2000...

NEVER MIND!

I wouldn't put teeth on mine, but I think if it brings you joy then you should go for it.
