It stands out and looks so unique. The shape of the "A" looks kinda cool to.

Was removing the grill difficult? I'm thinking of adding an aluminum billet to cover the underside of the stock grill or possibly behind the front sections as well. I saw how you mesh behind the lower signal light cover section very clean, could you relay the steps you went through to do that please? CDat or anyone who knows what I'm talking about? Much appreciated

I love colour matched grills

I feel like SSM and the stock grill match pretty well, and that it's not worth painting.
I don't doubt it would look even better painted SSM, it's just not worth it though

Thread Resurrection!

Just recently finished giving my grill a facelift:


Out with the old:

In with the new:

Re-vinyl wrapped grill pieces with "gunmetal" brushed aluminum wrap. stripped the chrome from the emblem and 4-staged it with adhesion prom., and plastic primer/base/clear. Black plasti-dip for the grill background, and converted to type-s honeycomb mesh. Plus. I plasti-dipped the emblem's background with grey and chameleon top coat for a twist. Hard to tell in the pics, it's very subtle. It has a transitional purple/green effect to it. I was very surprised to how well the chameleon and metalizer plasti-dip lines work.

Thanks guys. I wanted to try something different without straying too far from stock. The gunmetal wrap is a bit darker than the original matte silver finish, which is what I wanted.

I like reading this thread for the hilarious comments on that hideous red TL with the vegetable garden mesh grille. I laugh so hard

Note: I was able to pop off the V Grille by just removing the radiator support plastic cover, unclipping the bumper tabs under the metal retainers and just reaching in and getting one V grille tab loose and they all came undone. Took 5mins and didnt need to take off my bumper
