That looks hot man! I'm not sure if you should leave the emblem off or not. I like the emblem but at the same time it looks hot without it.

Flip a coin and decide that way

I am going to be honest.. i've seen it on a few different vehicles..and never liked it.. but i have to say with the lower grill it looks good!!

Got any distant shots? That would really be the way to tell..

You should add that piece from the stock grill to make the A stand out like darksom did. Anyways your work looks really clean man, how long did all that take you?

ill look into that. the hardest part was cutting and making the mesh fit perfectly since its pretty thick. the mesh that comes with the grill is cheap and flimsy. primed 2x and painted with 4 coats gloss black. after a few days I wet sanded with 1500 grit then resprayed 4 more coats. I didnt have time to install it at that point so I let it dry for over a week.

That looks real good on that color car.

Could you tell me where you got that grill from?

or is it custom.

Thanks.

I like it... But I'm not a fan of how chunky looking it is.
Looks like the eBay grills fixed the top portion gap [where it meats the hood-hinge].


Blacked with slightly smoked ambers, in my opinion, would match well with the front-theme.

I had the A off of mine for less than a day before I used the parts off the oem grill to make the Floating A! Do it up!
