Looking forward to getting home from work today... there's rumor of a new grill sitting on my doorstep
By now you have had plenty of time to install and upload pics. What's taking so long?
-
Can I get a recessed honeycombed grille? Very nice work on these grilles btw
He makes a recessed mesh grill, not the honeycomb.
-
Since my car is TSM it should help visualize the contrast better. I will be applying an overlay on the badge (black and silver) and have blacked out headlights so hopefully that is helpful in your decision. I like it on his car too though
I also have blacked out headlights and I think the black overlay will help tone the emblem down a bit. I was also thinking of the chrome being subdued a bit with black chrome, but then again it wouldn't match the trunk emblem.

Hey nospmoht04,
I'm still game for a S402 grill. If for some reson I do change my mind I know there are many in line behind me that will snatch it up in a heartbeat. Maybe it's the color of your car, mostly dark with bright headlights and a shiney emblem. I wish I could see this on a BSM like mine.
-
Please post as many pics as you can, different angles and such. I love the quality of this grill but after seeing how large the 08-09 emblem is on the 05-07 grill I want to make sure I will be happy with it. If I have any doubt after you post pics then I'm going to go back with his origonal grill.
-
I didn't know you were using the crown vic grill, I see why you are using the bigger emblem now.
-
Damn that grill looks very good, still not use to the emblem though...something about it is bothering me. It might be I just need to see more pics.
Is the 08-09 emblem the only one that fits or does the 05-07 fit also?
-
That is absolutely hiddious looking
-
IMO it will look better w/o the black gasket running around the grill. I know it's more time consuming because of all the fit and finish but, to me, it's worth the extra time and money that is necessary.
-
I can personally say that Hella horns clear his recessed grill.
-
-
Looks like I need to get busy and sell the original grill to get ready for the new one
-
Man, that looks really good. I really like how you got the gradual curve like the S402 grill.

One of the reasons I offered to do this originally was because I was supposed to be getting furloughed and only have a 4 day work week. Instead they have all but gone away and I'm working 7. I'll work around it and my schedule will change eventually. I'll let you know as soon as I get some things done. Thanks for the patience.
If I was betting man I'd say you either work for the Government or aircraft....
Thank for the update.

I'm so excited to see it
I believe you are going to be a very popular, and busy, person very soon. Hopefully you make at least a decent profit from all your hard work and troubles.
-
I figured out how I'm doing it and one is almost done. It pretty spot on, it just needs an 08+ emblem for the center. I'll get some pics up later this week.
This is definitely the learning phase of it and it's been a lot of work tuning it in. I'll have it all laid out after this and be able to make them a lot faster going forward.
Kind of wish I waited now lol. I am still interested in one of these grills though, looking forward to seeing the outcome.
Would it work if I was to send you the grill I bought you and you made the moddifications or would it be easier with a used factory grill?
-
Got the grill I bought from you yesterday, I'm not home when post office stops by so that's why it took an extra 3 days to get it.
The quality of this grill is outstanding. Did you rattle can spray this? If so, this is the best rattle can paint job I think I've seen. The pics you posted do not do this grill justice.
Can't wait to see your new project.
-
What if I were to send you a grill and the plastic honeycomb from a Crown Victoria?? Could you so some S402 magic??
He will not be able to angle the honeycomb like the S402 grill, it will just be flat like the other crown Vic modded grills out there.
BTW, I get the grill I bought today. YAY!
-
Is this going to be the honeycomb that you make the S402 style grill?
-
I just noticed I had the wrong link for the JDM mesh grill mod, here it is...
-
Man, if you can find a roll of honeycomb that looks like the S402 grill then you are gonna be making A LOT of grills.
Like Catalyst stated, the crown vic grill is used for the DIY and I don't think I've seen anything else used. kswagon has a DIY honeycomb grill with some type of different material but he said they no longer make it.
Here is the link to the best looking DIY mesh grill: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/my-diy-jdm-spec-b-grille-114000.html?highlight=crown+vic+grill
