Lil WDP love:

- Lower mesh grills. (I gotta repaint the frame the metallic silver color of the center grill section)
- Upper grill bar color matched to inner section
- Chromed grill trim
- Headlights colormatched



Filthy... It's cold outside.

I think I am the only one with all grilles meshed out (center and lower) and HID Accord fogs. My mesh has a smaller diamond pattern and is a bit more fine than everyone else's.

HAHA I know, of course you have all the meshed grilles too. You earned bragging rights fo shure..... the first to do the floating A!

What I was trying to emphasize is that I have meshed all the grilles AND I have HID Accord fogs

Sorry, but what happened to your TL PPLAPW? Plz don't tell me you sold it!

Edit: Sorry dark for the random post, but PPLAPW losing his TL is a huge hit for the NBP family

Very nice arrior! I'm in the process of doing mine and was looking at the home depot gutter guard mesh, but I like the look of what you used a little better.

Where did you get it, any hardware store?

I ordered some samples from http://www.customcargrills.com/ (recommended by rockyfeller)

YES that's the way to go. You can see what you're really gonna get before comitting. Besides, I am not to keen about a homemade Krylon job lasting too long to the elements. These guys POWDERCOAT the grilles for just a bit more money. Well worth it if you ask me. My grilles still look 100% perfect the last 3 winter months. Great stuff.

Here's me...

I didn't cut or make anything... just paint. I painted the 'outer grill', 'inner grill', the wing, and the bottom of the lip kit.

Dude, great job. The best one I have seen painted hands down. What type of paint did you use? Any chipping yet?

um.. i dunno what type of paint was used. I ran through a "pebble" patch" in the road... fucked up my windshield and chipped a lotta stuff in front, so when I took it to the bodyshop (put in an insurance claim) I told him to paint here, here, and here.

Initially, I did ask him to chop that wing off, but then he would only do "factory" repairs so i just told him what color to paint where. I think it turned out really good though! And no... no chipping as of yet.

Remember guys, we gotta talk about it over in the other grille thread. The whole idea of making THIS thread, was so that people don't have to read thru all of the rhetoric to find out how to do the grille mods like in the other thread.

THIS thread is "strictly for posting mod pics and DIY's"!!!!!!
