So what's your take?
Teeth Grill Inserts

This is where I saw them quite some time ago, myself. I think as a tongue-in-cheek mod they would be fun - such as Halloween or auto-xing, perhaps

The "Happy Car" version looks a bit like the Chevron claymation cars from the Techron commercials. That would be a funny mod



My boss keeps telling me our car looks like a Pikachu (sp) from the Pokemon cartoon; I think teeth would complete the look

Your idea inspired me to do a photochop of my avatar with the happy car teeth - too funny!

I agree with valentine - if you like it, go for it! You gotta post pics if you DO get them, though!

When I first saw an S coming at me the other way I thought it looked a little shark-like; how about teeth AND a dorsal fin?

Mendii -- now that I've seen photos, I've got to admit it is kind of cute -- would really be fun if you could just pop it on and off easily. I notice they even have the "rabbit" model as well.

valentine -

The pic is growing on me, too; my wife thought it was hilarious! I checked the website and it looks like they are easy to remove (a few tabs to pop them off of) so I may get a set for ours. The rabbit ones are "just the right amount of 'goofy'"

Dex - They DO have the shark teeth, but no dorsal fin They also appear to have a volume discount. I'll try to set up a group buy if at least 10 people are interested...details to follow.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to reduce the volume of air that enters your engine bay?

Props to The_Mendii for that photochop!

I agree w/Valentine -- it would be a sometime thing. Just for fun. I'll go in on that group buy. Put me down for some shark teeth!
