As some of you may know, I've decided to make my own custom grill for my ZR6 - however being a man of not substantial creativity I could use some input on some (Basic) design's I've come up with.

The idea is to have something that suits a sporty type of look, whilst still being unique to other grills out there. If you have an idea yourself, please do a dodgy paintshop knockup and post it.

oh my...

none of them look good, imo...

if i had to choose one, the last one would be it...

i quite like the look of 51DER's car with the new grill... looks very smooth and clean... :)

I have to agree sorry mate... sleek and clean seems to be the look that works (each to their own though). These designs scream Commodore to me. Sorry!

Hmmm, first two are Pontiac, fourth is a Cadillac, and the last is a Ford/Transformer.

Just buy an American car and be done with it?

Agreed that _none_ of them look right, or good.

The last one is the best, but also the least unique.

I don't agree with everyone else. I think they will all suit ok, but the last one more so because it is a proven design.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the others was "BMW", although I can see where people can see "Pontiac".

I commend your efforts, I just hope you go through with what ever makes you happy> You purchased an Aurion and you want to make it your own. Don't listen to the haters. LOL.

P.S I realise you only had mspaint to work with but you should have drawn the bottom part of the grill in as well.

thanks guys, feedback is really what I'm after here and the designs I posted are basic, but also just my initial ideas - I'm not happy with them myself hence my asking.

One thing to keep in mind is that because the above images are as basic as they are, take them with a grain of salt. True I want to be unique and it's my car, but I value everyone's opinion here.

At this stage I've started work, on a design unlike those above. I'll post up a basic idea later this evening.

Due to my poor ability to picture the actual grill of those creativity, I'd say none. :lol:

Last one seriously looks like a Transformer.. :P.

I got a suggestion, rather than making it like the Lexus type grill, horizontal, make it vertical like the IS250.

Not sayin it'll turn out great, just a new idea.. <_<

The last one was actually based off a Honda :)

Anyway here's the design I've started working on. It's VERY similar to the VIP grill, except with an additional horizontal bar. thoughts? My idea is a bit different from normal VIP grills hence why the custom work from scratch.

MM yeah sorry mate but it's just to much like the "limited edition" Pontiac faced Commodore SSV if you want a unique grill you may as well have one that's unquie to all car brands yeah?

Choose wisely...the grille/front and the wheels are a hard decision where cosmetic mods are concerned,get em wrong and it gets noticed for all the wrong reasons,get it right and you should see copycats on the road soon enough. ;)

but in saying all that whats a new or used grille cost if it all goes pear shaped,not that much i'm guessing so no real biggy if you get it wrong.

look forward to seeing what you do. :)

Not so much of a new idea to me.. I was initially thinking of painting the lexus grill all black except for 1 bar, pretty much similar to ur idea.. Still thinking of doing it, just not sure how it'll turn out.. <_<

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
