Request on a mod visualization-mean mouth

I've got a black MSRT. I really like the Danko grill; it's evil. And it personifies the front end a lot more in my opinion; that and some black eyebrows makes for a hellova rearview mirror filler. But I had a vision of either several knife blades (curved daggers is what I saw in my minds eye) sticking up through the bottom of the grill as teeth, or some actual fiberglass fangs sticking up, slightly yellowed and with blood painted on one side dripping down the fascia. Not sure what the legalities would be of having knives as part of your bodywork, but I imagine that it would be memorable, and I'm inclined to go down that path. Anyone done this or chopped up a pic of this? Would someone be interested in doing this?

you can do it and I think it'd look cool. I have seen many real barbed wire grilles in my day. Kind of the same flavor.
The army navy stores sell hard rubber training knives that would prolly be ideal for this. They are a bit flexible so flex agent wold have to be used if ya paint em.
If way inside there, you could hit flea markets and get the size and shapes of blades you want and it's really as easy as running the blades over a blet sander so a brother doesnt lose a finger while washin da car. Just keep in mind the safty of little kids who ar curious. Anything different does indeed beg people to get close and then to touch.

Knives or not, the way I drive, you shouldn't be walking in front of my car. It really wouldn't matter if my grill was Egyptian cotton pillowcases with damask; it'd be the same end effect. :-)

I think I wasn't askin' the right questions....would it be possible for one of you photoshop gurus to take a pic of a black maggie with a Danko grill and put knives into the lower grill as teeth/fangs, pointing upwards, recessed into the opening? Or teeth? To get an idea of what it looks like?
Something like the knife below, without the handle showing...just the blade coming up...
