u could make it aspec style.. check out big mike 13's car.. u can do some gutter guard grill work but that's ugly.. IMO

 

here, just look at my avatar. I'm not sure how custom you would considfer my grill, but its just mesh that i added into it but alot of members has asked me about it cuz they like the look of it.

 

I do like that, how did you do it?

aspec style

 

Funny you should ask, I just took this shot last night





Here's an old day shot (not too bright though):

 

Now that's what i call an....ICED OUT GRILL!
shit is nice bro keep it up!

 

I am leaning on going this route myself!!

 

Thanks bro, I appreciate the comment

 

heres my grill:

 

here is a pic i found...i really like the grill on this ssm, too bad i have a nbp, won't look as good if i put the same set up.

 

tight ride...the red signal lights really stand out, props

 

Here's a whole page of custom grills

 

lolrolf, wrong kind of grills.

 

mine

 

^^^how u do that...its hot....i think u should paint the chrome black

 

Mine was like this, at one point in time:






Now its like this (much cleaner):







And to XXXboboXXX.....your ride looks HOTTT.....NICE The chrome on the hood breaks it up but it would probably look sick blacked out, too.

 

^holy shit is it the road playing tricks on me or is your car really that low?

 

That's when he was bagged

 

was gonna say the same thing, damn thats low lol





i like that, very unique yet, simple and clean, and matches the trim on the car, nice job

 

Mugen grille:

 

Now that looks clean.

 

That grill is too hard. Did you make that yourself or was it professionally done? Details please!

 

^ i'm liking this thread.

how did you guys do the a-spec style paint? did you mask it off? is it all removable on an 03 hood? i didnt think the chrome stripe (center of hood) was removable.

thanks all!

 

yea u can take out the grill on the 03s, i duno bout em much since, the 99-00 was on the hood, duno how easy it is on the 02+

 

Kiran, I think the chrome strip is removable. I think I remember looking one time and it is fastened to the hood by screws if I'm not mistaken.

 

thanks JP!

how did everybody get it painted? DIY? I remember their being paint kits where you can just put in your color code on some website and they sent u a kit of paint and prep materials and what not.

 

its a diy thing. Take it off sand it good, and i mean good. Get a good primer(etching if possible to find) and then go to your local auto paint sotre (not auto PARTS) and see if they custom mix in cans. If not go on line to Tower paints. they will custom mix with your paint code into spray cans.

 

I don't get on the computer much and just joined. I'm looking to do a front grille tho and also am upgrading to 18inch Mezzanno MZ-5 wheels in black w/polished lip on Toyo Proxy 4 tires. I have a black '02 type S w/Nav....I cant find any grills tho, any help would be appreciated

 

chrome strip on the hood, has 4 bolts, they are 10mm just open the hood and feel behind the chrome strip and you'll find them, just unscrew them, slide the strip the to the left and pull, mostly likely you'll have to give it some force.

for the other section, just take the grill off theres a diy removal on this forum just search for it, and then theres lik 8-10 philips screws holding that trim piece onto the grill.
