Maserati style grill on RX

I thhink the granturismo grill would look badass on our cars.
I had my Dad's old band member staying at my house and I took some pix of his car last year, and I just noticed it would look pretty cool after I just shaved and repainted my front bumper/hood.
What do you think, do-able, or lame?

I'm not going to, I love the look of RX but I wish I could do something to the grill that would look good, but not flashy or cheap, but would keep it more individualized. I mean theres not really that many rx8's around here (East Fl)that look good anyways. I just would like options

lol ok here we go. There are a lot of crap looking front ends for the car so I was wondering if someone has done something to this look that looked clean, bc the conversions I have seen don't look good, but I'm sure I haven't seen a lot of them, and all the after market grilles for this car are cool for 16 year olds. Looking for real input, like the stock grill is really the best there is, or check this or that out.

Gotcha, I would never do it myself but yeah I am seeing that there are no great solutions. I found a front bumper years ago that I liked bc it looked pretty stock but the minor changes it had were all in the right direction. I don't like anything to aggressive as far as body kits go.

that's an overstatement if there ever was one

But I agree, Masarati's do look similar to RX-8 about as much a volleyball looks like a soccer ball.

whether it be the rx8 or any other car, the front wheel fender flare is so damn sexy.
