RuskiTrombone Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Sorry for the bad pictures. I just took them at night and there is a lot of flash. I'll take some better pics in the day time tomorrow but for now these will do. http://mason.gmu.edu/~egoldlus/cars/grill1.jpg http://mason.gmu.edu/~egoldlus/cars/grill2.jpg http://mason.gmu.edu/~egoldlus/cars/grill3.jpg http://mason.gmu.edu/~egoldlus/cars/dirty.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I liked the blacked out lights! How much in total was spent on the grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 maybe 10 bucks? Chris had many of the parts from his last grill job so he was kind enough to use his parts. Had it primered and painted for free through a connection. Pictures really don't do it any justice. Sorry but will have to take some tomorrow when the sun comes out.

wukilla98 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 damn looks good.... are you going to do any kind of write-up on it?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 All we did was cut everything out the middle and fiberglass or bondo the holes from the cutting. Afterwards get the sandpaper ready to get rid of anything that is uneven. Bondo the mesh to the back of the grill and give it to a body shop for paint. The body shop friend of mine said he had to sand it down even more and then he put really good quality gray primer on it. Then got the paint out and applied a few coats.

Waxiboy Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 looks good. just need to change your turn signal bulbs into silverstars to take away the amber effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjk911 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Looks great! Glad it turned out so well. Kind of makes me wish I had just stuck it out with my own instead of going the RBS route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks for all the help. Every time I walk away from the car I always look back and admire the grill with the painted headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusDubya77 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 what did you use to hold the mesh to the grille?? I used gorilla glue, and it ended up making the back look a little messy :woowoo:check out the Diamond Gray Metallic Monster!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Mesh was courtesy of cjk911 (Chris), It was one of those aluminum apc pieces probably found in local autozone type stores. Then I painted it black but will have to do it over and over again once in awhile after rock chips cause the paint to chip. We used bondo or fiberglass to hold the mesh down. If you have careful hands you won't messy up the front but the back of it won't look gorgeous. Who looks behind the grill anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrakuhBlack Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Grill looks good. Did you paint it with plain black or did you add the stock flake? Or did you do both. Just wondering what you did and how it looks up close (can't tell from the pics). Also, are any of you guys in northern VA who have a new grill trying to part with your old one? I'm thinking about making one myself instead of dropping 300 bones, but I don't want to risk screwing up my only grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrakuhBlack Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 What about the outside part? I thought you said you had a friend paint it at a body shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
