^Thats not a Klepto grill but alright..
:foresees this thread becoming a grill pic thread:

To the OP, you've been around here for a loooooong time and you haven't done any mods yet? How is that possible?? I wish I was you...

Roseville, work in Citrus Heights.

Grill looked dope this morning, let the clear keep drying. It's gonna look so much better than the chipped up touchupped hood it's going on, lol

^why did you need to post that? blackack already talked to you about posting stupid pics before, and i'm pretty sure even tho it's a grill it is not relevant to the thread, it's things like this that clutter up our informative and interesting threads

To the OP: when is the grill gonna be done and on the car, i wanna see pics what it looks like. and did you just use clear from a spaycan or something?
