Bumblebee 08 nose job update

[BennyBad]

hey art138, he is nearer to you than me .he is located in boca and he owns a white voi and did the 08 hood on it and it looks great. the shop was SuperL auto body and the owners name is george, 561-479-3126. treated my car as if it was his own and took the time and matched the color so if i want to put the stocker back on i have no issues later. thanks Benny

LOL, sister cars..... I did the same thing. The black/red side lettering just makes the yellor car, they should have come that way. And yep, after they originally striped my car and re-cleared the rear panel I asked that those letters be left off.. Much better. IMHO


Did you go with the factory vent grills? I'm undecided at this point.. Any chance for a couple grill close-up pics? Thanks!

factory grills and all the weather strip trims. heat pad and deflector for intake

Is that your black Eddie Bauer Expedition in the background?

I wonder how this grill mod would look. (upper left ), it would sure upen it up and allow more airflow.. It would take ballz to cut up a $400 set of grills.

i wouldnt modify it due to the fact each one is different and sometimes when you order the complete set you end up with 2 of the same. expensive little pieces of plastic but there plug and play.i feel like i have a new 08 for pennys on the trade in. also first time ever highway cruising in 90 plus heat and the temp gauge was reading at 190. so it does help it run a little cooler on my car on the highway.still getting used to seeing the big grilles while driving. benny

Did he get the hood and the grills for you or did you get them from someone else?
I wonder how awesome it would look on a conv.

[BennyBad]

hi, sellshomedrivesviper he got everything i needed from all the components of the hood and the new side emblems and when he had them all in hi hands told me to bring him the car.he also got them cheaper than i could have. the car was kept by itself during the stay at his shop. your vert would look great with it and from owning one the heat would escape upward and away versus coming over the windshield and into the cabin. benny

Yes, I realize each grill is different. I'm undecided on what I'll do. Probably run grill-less for a while then do something. I just removed the connecting bar between the vertical columns of cells with photochop. That would effectively open the grills an additional 9% over stock grills. I just hate the idea of big ass vents then restricting their flow by 30-40 percent.


Take care
