I decided to mesh my grill tonight:



Than I painted it black:



Than I got a little crazy:


Than this happened:


I'll post some better pictures of it completed in daylight.

I'm really happy with how it came out.
I made a jig for both layouts, out of curiosity would anyone be interested in a mesh upper and lower grill if I made a few of them?

 

damn decent from the nighttime pix....need better pix to judge....

post some daytime pix brah....

 

The bottom grill blends in because its all black, i'm very curious myself to see it in the daylight

 

I am really liking the mesh grille without the A on it. I have been thinking about trying to do this but do not have any idea how. I am not too big a fan of the C-Mod grille so this is really nice.

 

u can always put the A behind the grille on the hood latch cover. that's how i've done mine ... pure incognito

 

that came out pretty good but stock grille all day

 

Looks good. Good job!

 

I'm thinking of spraying the wing behind the mesh on the stock grill red, just to see what it looks like. I'm going to spray the A red to match and blend.

Here is some daytime pics:

The bottom grill was a b*tch. It's not perfect i'm going to redo it this weekend.
And I decided to leave the A on, it look too plain with out it, like its missing something.

 

Damn that doesn't look half bad well done

 

upper grill isn't bad, lower looks crap, hopefully better once you redo it, but like previously mentioned, oem looks much better

 

The bottom is a tough shape, I tried to fold the edges to secure it. Gen 2 will be flat with a crease in the middle. And i'll solder anchor points on.

 

If I make some of these would anyone be interested in buying one?

 

you guys not worried about airflow into the rad...etc. it looks great but it does make it bake in there.

for example: lots of trucks ruin their trans because the they add grilles with tighter meshing which heats everything up. Not saying ur gonna have problems but.. definately is not getting any colder in there and that robs power

 

My beemer use to take hours to cool down when I parked (as does my moms benz). My acura cools down very quickly within a half hour or so. Theres plenty of air in there to cool things down imo
