Hi guys,
Just deciding what to do with my grille as I've done a photoshop of a 3 slat grille and think it looks pretty good.
What does everyone think?

Standard:

Open Mouth:

3 slat:

Ultra open mouth:

Ultra 2 slat:

Backwards ultra open mouth :

Backwards 2 slat ultra open mouth:

Very ultra open mouth:

Open mouth ftw!

was originally making a three slat for my bros (well he was) but never got around to finishing it...been left abandoned ever since.

However i think it looks kinda cool also...but depends where you wanna go.

 

[joesouthgate]

yer i'm tempted to just to be a bit different, and maybe a 3 slat open mouth ss bumper :glance:

added a couple more for disscusion

 

[joelh]

3 slat looks ace going do it on mine me thinks

 

[joesouthgate]

my upside down openmouth reminds me of the front of a skyline

 

[Optispart]

i want a 3 but dunno how ha

 

[jim_bling]

ultra open mouth or very ultra open one fella but put some red mesh behind will look mint

 

[joesouthgate]

nah i think i'll stick with black mesh kenny!

 

[Simonh]

i agree red mesh doesnt seem like it would go well with ur car

 

[Rob..]

I really like the bottom one (1 slat), works well with the bumper. Those are my 2 cents

 

[GuyH08]

how can you get open mouth grills
or do you DIY it

 

[joesouthgate]

Diy

i'm guessing this is all photoshop? can i just say, they look really good, i wish i could use photoshop like that! all the shading is right and everthing!
and i would go for the 'ultra 2 slat', looks different, opens up the front and takes away from some of the 'roundedness' of the front.

yer its all photoshop, was bored on my girlfriends computer, took me quite a while though!

 

[Robert]

3slats looks cooool!
Depends on your plans for the front bumper more than anything else i think, if you open it out, a slat in the grill might look out of place.

 

[squarepants]

ultra open mouth nismo style..or the backwards ultra open mouth looks awsomly cool!

 

[Arnold]

3 slat does look cool, that's what my K10 has had done, which is why i said do the other one

 

[NeX]

i voted open mouth cos i love it, i have some spare grills if you want to play with some ideas.

but i think it depends on how you are doing the bumper...

what might be awesome is open both the grill and bumper and fit some chrome poles in each one

 

[joesouthgate]

mhmm, no chrome on my car lol, I'm thinking if I do a 3 slat then possibly do a 3 slat type bumper as well, gives something to fix the number plate then, might try a 3 slat and see how it goes.

 

[solarice]

might try a 3 slat and see how it goes.

That was our plan, if it looked crap we would just cut it out and go the full open mouth.

i have some old front bumpers that i was gonna chuck if you wanna rob the slats

Ultra Open Mouth with headlight eyelids.

 

[b47to]

i got with 3 slat never seen it before and would be different from the rest

 

[joesouthgate]

Well...I will have a nismo open mouth coming for it soon

Looking like this:

 

[nexussteve]

niiiiice

 

[drummersiy]

hey u gotta think about actually doing it because photoshop ur creating something that might be hard in real life the open mouth one would just but cutting bits out and filling in the edges like my k10 grill mod..

but most the others need allot of precision fabrication

looks good tho

 

[joesouthgate]

i know i was just doing those shops for the fun of it, not making any of them now anyway!
