Bored. Early tease?

I've been working on this for a while... a long while to tell the truth.
I've stopped working on the project for like a month or maybe more... had lots of things to do from that time till now.
Previous mock-up failed.. so I made a new mock-up with whatever left-over-existing-material I had [the ghetto way].



Notice the bondo and painter's tape. hahah.... oh man ghetto mold/mock-up.

So what's different about this grille compared to the ebay one is that... It will use the OEM V-trim thingy-part of the grille. It will be installed from 'behind' the grille... as it will sandwhich part of the grille. I'll probably add 3M tape on the underside to secure it along with 2 bolts at the top left/right.

Here's a teaser shot I just took..
Can you guess what it is? =]


a crappoli--I forgot to resize the images....

No offense but..what the heck am I looking at! lol

I guess the first thing is part of the grill...not sure if I see your vision on the final product.

The second looks like a blurry shot of your shifter...am I missing something in that one? I feel like I am looking at one of those mindfuck pics and when I see it I will shit bricks

LOL yes it's a grille... unfinished. It's just a mold/mock-up. Something I can use so I don't have to take off my bumper all the time.

And yes it's a shot of my shifter... I made it blurry purposely. No worries, no mindfuck--shitting brick picture there.

Is that a mock up of the metal trim on the side of the middle console to the radio to fill up the half hole shape from the radio knobs. Lets see a finish product.

Hahah nope.. can try to make a mock-up of it though, but then it would be pointless for me as I'm still using stock stereo.

Hahah... you two are too smart... I knew I shouldn't have posted the actual pictures as well.
I'm thinking of painting the red lettering to blue--to match the gauges. Should I leave it red or paint 'em blue?

Nice indeed!~ Feels better than the stock knob. Gets hotter/colder though...

Well if the grille ends up looking like poop.. I'm going to be kickin' myself!~ It's going to be used with mesh. It's unfinished as I need to start laying some fiberglass down.. I might move onto CF after I learn. =]

Skunk2 shift knob:


Slight modification was needed to be done to the silver-ring-thing...

Miscellaneous:




I'm going to be working on the grille this Thursday-Sunday.
