home brew grilles

[pmi_man]

as title says, made them out of expanded metal, and a lot of patience with a dremel that the friggn cutter thing would shatter every other minute or so. anyways here they are, i made them back in december but just got some pics today, enjoy. i'll do a write-up if a lot of people are interested


and dont mind the windshield banner, im gettin a a lot of stuff done to my car there, and i get a really good discount (sometimes at cost) if i have it on. but after all my stuff is done i'm going to take it off.

I've got a crappy work monitor so it's tough to get a good look at them. I'm sure others will also have a similar problem viewing them w/ older or uncalibrated monitors. The difficulty is increased since they're in the shadow. Taking the picture w/ the sun behind you might be helpful.

Looks outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! make ur upper grille like that and u'll be set!

[pmi_man]

my: alright, sun's almost set, so i'll get some tomorrow
turbo: thanks! and yeah i really want to, but i can't decide if i want to keep the rings or not, and where/how i'm going to relocate the latch for the hood.

I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Writeup, now. Although I could probably figure it out, but I'm curious to see how you did it. Did you take step-by-step pictures?

From someone who really appreciates the work put in to those, I gotta say they look great! Nice work.

[pmi_man]

noodle: no, but if i make the upper grille the same, i'll do a DIY on that, then re-do the fogs and center, then sell the new ones
rx: thanks man!

[Noodle]

It's all good. But I do agree, looks good. It doesn't look stock, and it doesn't looks aftermarket. Hard to explain, but I love it.

^^u Cut A Hole In The Latch Area And It Sits Out Like The Kamei Grilles

Very nice, looks clean. Much better than my plastic mesh (didn't have the grilles at all when I got it). Would like to see a DIY for both upper and lowers.

[heateris]

[pmi_man]

[converted2audi]

looks great....hows the durability?

[vtecgreen]

Write it up please!

I did this on my civic and it looked like ass- this looks pretty good!

[jcg05c]

looks hot. It seems you know what your doing so why not just dremel out the 3 lower lines and make yourself your own usp and then use the same type of grill procedure?
