Arts and crafts time.

Before you all get your panties wet. This will just be a "one-off." But I'll show you guys the DIY if you have the balls/ovaries to do it.

Do you plan to keep it looking the same?
or do you have tricks up your sleeve?

defconskylude

this particular one is to keep it clean. i have to make the outer grill for the 11' from scratch so i dont want to cut up my OEM one.

no slight of hand this time.

if this center piece is too wide, then ill put it on the 09-10' bumper that i have. so ill take pictures of the measurements for both 09-10' and 11' bumpers

Mr. NC

Are you planning on competing with his sales? heheh

Awesome stuff. Are you gonna make a mock up of the middle insert to put on the 09/10 grille you have?

defconskylude

nope. it's strictly a "one-off"

i dont have the 09/10 grill anymore. if i did, ill be dremeling the outer grill to just slide it in. id either have to find the outer grill, buy that C mod grill or make one from scratch. whatever is cheaper.

ed_423

you still wanna buy my stock grille?
'





well too bad, im keeping it.


hehe, cant wait to see what you come up with though. maybe this?

defconskylude

ya how much you want to pay me to get your grill

yea i was looking at this when someone bumped it from the grave and decided to just buy it and see if i can make it work. again it all depends on the length of this. i really dont want to chop up the grill because of the chrome piece.

TSXKid2010

this is something i will summon the courage out of my mid-puberty 17 year old balls and do if there is a DIY to follow.

defconskylude

you guys have more time than i do.

definitely will be a lot of pics and a video will be provided.

KillerG

U GONNA FINISH THE PROJECT THIS TIME BRO

OR R U JERKING US OFF

teach me some fabrication later when you get some free time in the summer, i wanna make a one off too for the 09/10

defconskylude

depends on the wife and kid.

sure buddy

defconskylude

if i had the 09/10 outer grill it would be a better DIY for you guys that want to tackle this on.

TSXKid2010

^ Ed, take one for the team.

KillerG

dunno what kind of difficulty you are expecting but if the length or the blades or curvature of the blades (from a lateral aspect how far and what angle they protrude outward) is off then it will be a much bigger project all of a suddenly

defconskylude

i have low expectations with the difficulty right now. once when i put this grill up against the 09/10 bumper and the 11 bumper then i can see the type of difficulty.

im hoping to just cut two squared holes and use 2 L-brackets and call it a day.

defconskylude

damn arent you guys fucking excited about this?!

I AM!

i cant wait to disappoint you guys hahahaha

KillerG

Thats what were worried about

Wouldn't be the first time...

From my pov, looks like the MDX grille isn't as wide as ours. I foresee difficulties.

defconskylude

damn im so butt hurt right now. youre allowed to give up 10 times in life.

if its short. then its good since the 11' bumper is shorter.

otherwise i have to create a bridge on the 09/10 bumper

defconskylude

maybe i should go around the mall parking lot, find an MDX and measure the width

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

Lol...tell me which mall so i can call the cops and tell them some weird guy is examining MDX's and i think he's planning on stealing them...
