I won't talk out of turn...maybe it was the 1 off product that K1B spec had made that was the problem.

Just plan to have it body worked smooth...
I'm sure it'll be fine, looks like it has a longer angle on top, which probably helps.

What's wrong with painting fiber? It says it comes ready for paint...shouldn't have to sand anything.

That wasn't my experience. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it.

Update 10-19-15

So I have been planning to do this for a long time ! I finally grew a big enough pair to do the grill mod and I must say I love it !

Here is the diy thread https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...s-pics-748647/


First part is the hardest for sure, cutting the middle bar out
There is no going back ! I used a dremel to cut it !



Then you have to fill it with the fiberglass bondo, which was a pain to sand !



Mine is not perfect it could use some filler and more sanding but I did not have any so it will do for now ! So I then dipped it black with glossifer.



I put the mesh on, dipped the emblem white for some contrast and called it a day I love how it made the front look !









PS I need to get a camera I know, my iphone 6 sucks for pictures with the lifeproof case on it

haha yea i really like the feeling of being in my own area people can't look into, but man with the all around dark tint and my black interior it gets pretty dark already.

cops pull a lot of people over for tint here in socal (i've been written up twice for side tint) so it's a fine line. next car will be 60 though!

Update 2-14-16

Haven't posted on here in awhile but I am back !

Last month I ended up hitting a raccoon, It cracked my bumper and aspec lip. It also destroyed both fender wells and some stuff underneath.

This is how she looked after the bumper was taken off


I decided on a 07-08 Type-S bumper with aspec kit to change up the look a bit.

But I cannot decide if I want todo the grill mod again Thoughts and opinions ? might just dip the grill black and do a white emblem, but not sure











Waiting on my fogs to arrive and then i will install them.
Also got a HIC v2 roof spoiler and throwing around the idea of some new custom tails
