Default Any Interest In a Grill Like This

This was a concept grill we came up with, and would like any feedback about the look. It is all CNC Plasma Cut to cover the existing fins.

Just trying out new ideas

And its different than anything else I've seen

Thats the type of feedback I'm looking for, your right they do seem to be different widths.

I agree. If it is just a prototype that is more for overall design then I understand. I still don't like it but I understand.

Thats Right,

It is just a prototype to get opinions about the overall design and how to change it.

It does

what about making a grill similar to that of the Aston Martin Vanquish? I think thats one of the nicest looking grills on the market and it will look very good on the z.

I agree with the others who say make the holes more even and larger. I would also lose the "Z" and keep it a clean kind of retro style.

Ugly.. Sorry, JMHO. I'd like one close to OEM but with chrome from edges. sort of like Dr. Bonz's. His is of his own design & looks very sharp IMO.

Reminds me of a Caddy or old buick. Don't get me wrong, it is good that you are trying new stuff. Just my opinion.
