thats fantastic!

are you going to reveal your secrets? Is it a mirage grill? I dont really care what its from, just curious.

I agree with the others though, it looks sleek now, but a small badge, doesn't have to be the ford blue oval, would look cool.

Maybe the "6" out of the new xr6 badge.,....meh maybe a bit ricey and to big.

if it were up to me, i'd have no badges on the car.
the only badges on the car now are the Falcon and Ford badges on the back of it.
nothing on the front and sides.

It looks VS Senator-ish to me, especially that second pic. But it does look very good!

Sorry John, but I don't really rate it.. It just doesn't flow the best. Maybe dark Typhoon grille ;)

something like the typhoon grill etc would be more suited to a fairmont etc, my grills too small.

John, is it possible you could post another picture like the second one you posted, but without the shadows? I can't quite grasp how it looks from a distance or at an angle. Looking at it a second time it looks as though it may grow on me, or at least look pretty good in the flesh.

haveto agree here. but it is appealing and like everyone has said, its different.

The grille looks good, John. Far better than the hole you had there before.
