Eh, looks like your imitating the Eagle grill to me. Sooo to that I say just get the Talon's grill .

Not a bad attempt though

haha i love the eagle grill so much better than the eclipse grill. i think it looks good though, seperates yours from others.

I think ive seen the talon grille before, but does it block all the airflow?

 

[FL_TalonTsi]

no it has an eagle symbol in the middle and then what looks like netting but plastic on the outside

I just cut mine so that it looks like the talon one and actually gets airflow to the radiator. If you do that and paint it black then nobody can tell the difference unless they are up close.

Just curious how it actually gets airflow to the radiator with the plastic ducting back there... seems like it'd just push air up and over the radiator into the engine bay.

Still planning to paint my own centerpiece to match the body color, then smoke my shinethroughs and corner lights.

Most people remove that ducting when they install a FMIC as it is in the way. But without one keep the ducting!

The Talon grill has a plastic mesh with the eagle symble in the middle. IF the ducting is removed for above reasons I think it would let a little more air in but I doubt enough to notice. But then Mine is that way .


Look at pic's in my gallery to see what it looks like.
