Always like some of the subtle effects the lucky canadians got with the 03 tl type s aspec, so i'm gonna try to add some of those to my 02 tl type s. Not brave enough to do the headlights yet, and still looking for the jdm inspire spoiler so thought i start out with something easy and i think i've seen it around the boards also.

color matching the grill to the body color. right now i have a photoshop render, and the pic isnt' the greatest since the flash washed out the colors, so its not exactly how it will look, not black enough, but i think it definatly adds to the look of the front of the 02-03's

all opinions welcomed

 

doesnt look like it matches

 

yeah the color looks blue. Unless you are experienced with painting, I would have a body shop do that piece. It's going to be exposed to the elements as well as any road debris, rocks and it'll get beat up pretty quick. That part needs to be prepped really well or the paint won't bond properly.

 

chea

 

^^^^

 

yeah thats what it will look like, and yeah they are getting professionaly done by a friend of mine. Just wanted to get a qucik look at what it would look like in ps, since i couldn't come up wiht a decent search critiera that had working pics

 

Yeah that is nice modification actually...not too expensive also.
Good luck

 

Pure hottness!

The more i see that front end style the more i want to do that conversion too

 

wow......HOTTT!

 

yeah its only costing me the price of the quart of paint and a friendly 6 pack, lol. he already has clear coat, primer, and tools nessacary for painting. he just finished painitng a 67 vw a few days ago

 

Any idea how much that would cost?

 

hey said he can get a quart for around 25-35 bucks, just have to give him my paint code. Quart is more than what i need, but alwasy good to have more if i need to paint some other pieces

 

I was quoted $150 to do mine awhile back.

 

I hear that, i love that look

 

A quart is a little over kill. You can paint a hood and 2 fender with a quart (1 quart paint + reducer comes to 2 quarts or 1/2 gallon sprayable with most paints)

 

Your right. I'm just getting a quart since i know in the future i'll probably need it for any spoiler / body kit i decide to go with. So yes, for just the grill the quart is an overkill, i'm just plannin ahead.

 

makes me wanna buy a black type-s

 

i know right?

 

damn thats clean... and i usually prefer chrome over painted but thats clean

 

NICE...That's going to look good!

 

i kinda wanna do it for my SSM but i have no idea how itll turn out any one here done this mod to a SSM TL?

 

damn big mike...ive seen the whip but that front end is dope. mybe just that pic but haha
