Yes, the "Honeycomb" Grills. They have a cutout for the horn on the left side (as you are facing it) and semi-circle surrounds for the fog lamps on both sides in front ~ nothing in the rear. I wouldn't necessarily be interested in keeping the honeycomb pattern, just replacing them with a carbon fiber insert. I would love to see an example of the Honeycomb Weave carbon, though.Thank you! Those are the honeycomb patterned grills, right? Do they actually have venting through them, or are they solid?
The overall shape of those grills would be pretty easy to make, but the embossed honeycomb pattern could be tricky to recreate in carbon fiber. The finer the detail, the more difficult it is to transfer nicely to the surface of the carbon fiber part. We do make parts out of honeycomb weave carbon however, which looks awesome. And of course you could change the design of the grill entirely if you wanted to.
I was thinking of trying to use a 3M or Avery Dennison Carbon Fiber Printed Vinyl Wrap, although that might show the honeycomb relief from beneath the wrap.
They are the weak link in the styling of these otherwise wonderful cars.
