Spray painting my grill at the moment, going for the full murder look.

Thing is, I'm stumped on how you take off the silver trim attached to the hood.



Do I just wedge a flat head screw driver right under the plastic? Are there clips?

Thanks.

i tried to search for you but couldnt find the thread i was lookin for. i think you have to take off your bumper though.

No no, the metal trim that's attached to the hood itself.

there are clips, maybe nuts on the back? don't dig a screwdriver in there just yet!

I did not find any clips.

Any other ideas fellas? I don't want to get spray paint on my hood.

I was thinking about putting 3x5 index cards in between where the trim / hood meet .. but I don't feel it's enough protection.

You can always use protection.

Anybody? I'd like to finish the fully murdered out grill today .

It looks good just like that IMO. But to each is own...cant help you with that lil hood piece. Good luck!

There are 3 or 4 bolts that hold that piece in i think they are a 10mm once you take those out it will slide right off.

Tyler-

Remove the (4) round plastic covers under the hood. Look inside the hole and you will see (4) 8mm bolts. Use a 1/4" inch socket/screwdriver and remove the bolts...good luck. Post pics of the murdered ride once your done!

From the looks of it, the hood piece seems to be stuck on with an adhesive :\.

If you look VERY closely, you can see the actual adhesive holding this piece on.



As for the 4 x 10mm bolts :- \.



Nothing.

Grill is almost done fellas.

I'll post pictures in a bit.

(I'm going to keep the charcoal gray coloring in the grill, I have a feeling it'll look good)

that paint you are putting on there is just going to chip off and look bad, and what the hell does murdered out mean....sounds stupid, but then again, i am 39 and you are 19 and there is a bit of an age difference there....

While I respect your opinion, shut up.



1 coat of primer, 2 light coats of paint, 1 heavier coat of paint, with a clear coat ... I feel pretty confident it will last longer than my last job.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Looks really good! Now you should get a new picture of it in the same location as the first picture because that first picture makes your car look SO murdered!

Amazing!

Looks awesome man! I love my AM, but I really wish I'd gone all black.

Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying the new look.

I think Aspec would really set off the "MUR-DUHHHHHHH" look, but that's an extra $700 bones I don't have :P.

zeezz

looking good, good job with the quality.

aSPECtL06

A-Spec is a worthy investment though. Makes the car look way more aggressive.

has anyone powdercoated aspec rims flat black? that would look beyond hot.

They would look hot, but I don't care what kind of covering you use ... if you curb them once it's going to stick out like a sore thumb heh.
