the first grill (later on i but black mesh behind it)


rolled like this for a while


looked like this on the car. wasnt feeling it (with the black mesh behind it)


2nd grill. still in the works got to glue it together



bought the pillar from another member on acurazine and he said that it should fit. well it fits but i had about a 2 inch gap at the tops so it the top off a bit and started to bondo it to my stock pillar. should be ready for the chicago spring meet.

looks real good man, keep us updated with more pics on the progress

 

lookin good!

 

nice work man.. hope it all turns out good for ya

 

Looks good so far.

 

forgot one. work still in progress for this too.

can any one guess whats it for?

 

please post pics of the shift gate as I too am considering painting it black.

 

im gonna let the shift gate dry and then ill put it back in the car tomorrow.

 

is that a heat seeking missile launcher? O.o
love the personalizing works you're doing. for the shiftgate, how did you start? did you sand it down real smooth, or keep it rough so paint would adhere?

 

Not feelin the black grille but to each his own. Everything else looks good tho!

 

i wasnt feeling it either so thats why i chopped it up, used some fiberglass, then some bondo, and lots of sanding and hard work. painted it and now its silver with a black mesh behind. still debating if i should put the (A) symbol in the front grill.

 

well i couldnt wait till tomorrow so i put it in today and it all went good. i know its a bit dirty ill clean my whole car this weekend if its nice out. here are the pics:

 

Looking good maybe I will get some ideas

 

Nice work

 

ahh! i want that pillar!

 

its the CL gauge pillar but since it was too short (about 2"short ) i had to up it a bit and then some bondo and it will look good i hope.

 

yup gaugepods.com at that rate i may as well just get 2 plain gauge pods and get them fiberglassed in

 

 

as promised i installed the grill on my car, had to do some trimming here and there but it fit right in.




blue car
bought a salvage title car with no engine and tranny. then dropped in a tl-p engine i had from my other car.

 

Must be nice to have two TLs at 18 y/o.

 

considering that i bought the 02TL-S for $4700 and total it came out to $5950.
and my dad helped me with the blue one

 

Its good to see people with new ideas. I would put the A in the middle of your grille.

 

is the other an EBP?

 

pretty sure its a ebp but it may be an abp. leaning towards ebp.

 

sure indicators: type-s's arent EBP, parchment interiors are EBP (except in canada)

 

so i got an EBP TL-P and an SSM TL-S. driving the two i could feel the power in the TL-S and the pick up on the high way is also better .

 

nice projects, looking good

 

The grill looks so/so to me. It's a clean paint and install, but being able to see the rad and hood latch takes away from the looks. Maybe if you put the A emblem in the middle??

 

project looks good so far... where are you around in chicago?

 

harwood hts to be exact. not to far from Harlem and Irving park. the HIP mall.

 

Im usually around there but i never seen your car... you went to ridgewood?

 

i went there too
by any chance do u dive a lowered blue type-s or a 99-01 tl-p ssm with a lip kit?

 

This is great! i modded my grill and my shiftgate yesterday!! i went with black too, but i did the floating A look. also painted the engine bay gloss black.

 

No i got have an 00 lgm tl-p ...no mods yet

 

im usually not around here, either at school or at work or working on my car in my drive way. if u need help with any mods ill be gladly to help u out

 

hope you dont mind

 

dont mind at all. i like what u did with the intake manifold and the cai. now just paint the top of your battery.

well here is a pic of how my emblem came out. a little bit of the paint chipped when i tried untaping it but u cant really see it.

 

i could only wish i had missiles. top one is my nitrous activation switch, middle one is my bottle warmer, the empty hole on the bottom is supposed to be for my remote bottle opener but i dont have that hooked up yet.

 

Is that duct tape that you used (it looks like it)? Use that blue painters tape and that won't happen.

 

i used the blue painter tape but when i went to pry it up with my pocket knife i went to far and scratched it. its really not gonna be noticeable. duck tape on paint
