And one final note, in addition to getting the idea for a one piece grille from the cars I saw at Sema, I chose the racemesh design because it is pretty similar to the mesh used by Cadillac on all of the V-series cars.
Anyway, that's it. As many have said, I'm the only that has to like it and I do. It came out exactly as I had hoped it would. Just thought I'd share it. Didn't realize how many people would be so opinionated and bash the look of it. But as I said before, we all have the right to like what we like. If we all liked the same things, this would be a pretty boring world.
Have a great evening everyone!

I know, my bad. Read my disclaimer added to the first post. I apologize to any one I offended. More details in the original edited post.
But yes, even without that, as I've seen in other posts, this can be a tough crowd!! LOL

I think it looks bad azz. RaceMesh does great work and great people. They did all my grills and did great work I just wish I would have thought of the grill posted. I know I'm going to get best up on this but whatever. it seems whatever you post it seems most of the same people no matter what has nothing but negative comments. If you don't have anything good to say about someone's ride keep it to yourself or don't be so harsh. You can give feedback without being a jackass.
Gone.

nope, too much opening, the factory grill breaks it up and doesn't make it look like the Grand Canyon.

I don't dislike the stock grille, but I think it could have been improved upon. I like the idea of the OP's mod, but I am a fan of straight metal mesh. Has anyone tried it without any grille and left it as an opening?

I agree the factory front grill is Ugly, I think yours looks better, anything that gets rid of that chrome strip IMO looks better. I am not sure I would do it, but I would get rid of that Chrome ASAP.
I do like what fasttoys did to his even better.

i personally like the look of the base C7 inside and out. Really would not change a thing. The car is just badass. But, i do appreciate everybody's mod's and think it is cool that there are different looks out there. Some i would like and others not so much. But, still think they are cool because they are different. The way i see it though, the base C7 is so cool why even mess with it. My mod was purchasing it... lol

The simple fact is if you put a mod up on the internet with pics, be prepared to take the good with the bad...that's just how forums work...get over it....I have about 40 mods all total on this site, many don't like them...I sleep fine....
