Ahh, I see what you're going for. I don't think it would work for the 86 logo though. It's too circular and bulky for that purpose. It's not sleek at all.

If it was recessed and black to match it might be a cool subtle detail.

I think it's tacky. Looks like something that should be on your refrigerator...not your car.

It's way too big for my taste. However...like others have stated, I can certainly appreciate your efforts...and more importantly...your enthusiasm!

You wanted honest opinion, and the honest opinion is that's pretty ugly, it's too... IN YOUR FACE!.

goood effort :)

I could almost see it if you painted the logo onto the grille itself, like if you made a template and spray-painted the logo in white on the grille. It wouldn't stand out quite as much but would still achieve a similar effect. Maybe?

The difference between the FR-S and the Maserati is... that the FR-S isn't a Maserati. Nor is the Maserati an FR-S. The Maser can pull off certain styling choices that the FR-S cannot, and vice-versa.

I agree compering a Maserati to the GT-86 is just like comparing cows to horses...ya they both have 4 legs but that is about the only similarities that you can draw.....see what i did there you thought i might do apples and oranges but oh no went original on you with the comparison....well a bit original.

I think for this to work you would need to completely redesign the grill pattern to flow with the 86 symbol

gmookher 12-12-2012 12:09 PM

Replace with bat symbol please

CaptainSlow 12-12-2012 12:20 PM

Don't think it looks good, sorry.

Agreed. However, if you could modify the logo, say, remove the circle encasing and then enlogate it up/down, you may be able to pull it off.
