That is awesome.
I am sure the reason for LONG~~~~~~~~~ delay was to make it fit perfectly, not because he fell off the face of the earth like I thought he did.
How does it look?
Any update on APPROXIMATE release date???
JDP seems like he writes on everyother JDP-related threads, EXCEPT this one...lol guess we bugged him too much.

I saw the grill again last night, its looking better than the fiber glass model and the 1st cf model. Production would've happened sooner but the 1st cf model has some minor fitment issues and flaws; And John's lowest quality control level is almost if not perfect.

To sum up the looks of the grill its nobless meets mugen, meets type R so yea try to picture that.

As easy as making a grill sounds its actually pretty complicated especially with the way our stock grill is. Looking at it as a 3D model it has atleast 6 planes.

Yes, John has been "slow" on this project but keep in mind that he is doing this on his spare time. He has a regular day job and a family. So just be patient. Like I said earlier John is a perfectionist and will release nothing else but perfect.

We still cannot give John or JDP a bad rep because they pioneered the very first aero products for the USDM fit as well as other parts they have as well as the GE fit being the very first vehicle John did a FULL LINE of products. Without John all we will have is the mugen lip kit and thats about it...

If you guys are interested, I'll can take pictures of the revised prototype on the car.

I need to test fit one last time to make sure everything is good.

Sorry for the long wait....hard to schedule time to meet with a GE owner to develop.
