I don't want that my 8 looks like an R8. But the grille of the R8 is perfect and very mean.

i really like the idea you have got going. and givin the angle of the fins, at speed i bet they will supply a sufficient amount of down force aswell, not much but anything is a plus. keep the updates coming! how do you plan on "smoothing/flowing" the fins into the bumper? bondo?
