So here she was before being put all back together. It was said...It couldn't be done (AT least not by me).





I set out to prove them wrong!





Everything worked out except even though I matched up the paint code, the bumper is not a very good match. The car itself has a tint of purple and the newly painted bumper has much less of that purple tint. I will "Dr-Up" my remaining paint and redo when I have to take the bumper off again (like when HID bulbs need replacing). The average person can not tell unless you point it out.

Here is a picture of the front before the air grill mod.



I really like the new look for the air grill. Blacked out is definitely more aggressive looking. What do you all think...Stock or Blacked out?

 

I like both but black fins do look more sporty.


Was it painted a chrome like color before, or was it actual chrome?

 

Stock air grill is painted silver with the top and bottom pieces being chrome plated.

 

Nice job.

 

Still in awe Steve, she's back!

 

good work !

 

Looks good. i was thinking of doing this, now you convinced me to.

 

Amazing Job! I wish I had the knowhow (or the balls) to do all of these DYI projects!

 

Thanks for the kind words guy's.

I cleaned out the garage today and have her all tucked in from that sun I kept her out in.

Have a bus. trip to Savannah tomorrow so I'll get to enjoy her for awhile.

Now a good wash and some pictures with a real camera to follow.
