I have an extra stock grill laying around, so I figure I can play around with it and see if I can improve the look of it.

Here is my first idea


and here is my second


my photoshoping skills don't show it, but I plan to sand down the bumper smooth and paint it a high gloss black.

anyone have ideas?

chrome billet grille was the best 45 dollars I have ever spent lol... even my mother liked it

I like the first one, I would like to try that with on of the stock grills I have here. I dunno how you would go about smoothing out the 2 openings maybe you have some better ideas.

i was planning on cutting the fins out, and then taking a dremel or something and grinding them down from there. then i think once the texture is removed from the whole grill and it's painted, it should blend pretty well.

I like the smoothing idea and then you can do what I did, which I stole from someone else, and put the ricer grille in behind the holes to cover up the styrofoam crash barrier. You can do a little bit of moving forward of the screen and press nails in sideways thru the styrofoam to hold the screen closer to the front of the holes.







Sorry bout the hijack...

those grills look great...i always thought that a chrome billet grill with the SS emblem on it looked awsome and really clean...but since the thread was all about changing up the grill you own already i say go with the second one with the ss emblem...good luck either way

That matching color works.
Did anyone else see a face there when they looked at that photo above?!?

those grills look great. i like that mesh idea. did you guys have to cut out the foam in anyway?

Ntimid8r7

iTrader: (9)

no, no foam was harmed in the making of that mod.

i was thinking about doing the grill lpm too but i think i'm going to go with black so it matches my soon manta stripe, black wheels and whistler mod.

I assume when you say stock grill you don't mean an SLP grill. If it's regular stock go full body color and put a black SS badge or black bowtie in the center. Otherwise I'd go the same as Brian2006's color matching. That thing looks sick!

anyone done that style but with the colors reversed??? so black grill with body colored center. thats what i was thinking about doing. and if anyone has that on a pewter car...

Yes a red vert z28 did it. Looked out of place IMO. I believe he was planning on reversing it to the way I did it.
