New Custom Grille Idea

ameuba10 · 02-04-2008, 08:20 PM

So ive been rackin my brain about how to create a custom grille and i have come up with an idea. i really want to go the mugen style look, just kinda the lower portion. so i have two ex coupe grilles just gathering dust in my room and i thought i could hack off the top portion with a dremel. now that brings me to the center "H". im wondering if i should leave it or hack it off for the cleaner look. i would definately go over the cut/chopped pieces with some fiberglass. but to give you a lame idea at what im talking bout, here is a ghetto pic.

*Before*

*After* (the green portion is what the grille would be)

umm thats allready been done.... there's a fiji coupe somewhere on here that has a mesh type front grill like that mugen one on sickyutes car.. it looks like ass imo though

***GETxERxDONE*** · 02-04-2008, 11:11 PM

oo so are you wanting to just use the lower part just cut the h out and paint it body color? (of course with extending the lower part all they way across) or extend it like the mugen one?

PS i have an extra EX grille also

ameuba10 · 02-04-2008, 11:22 PM

dangit, i would like to see that fiji if someone could find a pic. i just want to use the lower part and cut the h out and paint it body color.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 02-04-2008, 11:41 PM
