That looks sweet in the dark, especially on black. Can't wait to see pics in sunlight.

Looks sharp! Mind if you tell us how you painted it?

Driv3r · 12-11-2005, 09:46 PM

dude... i want to do this so bad to my car.... I cant stand the silver bar across my bottom grill. I dont have the nuts to take sandpaper to my car by myself. I wish i knew someone to help me out with this.

honestly i didnt have the balls in the beginning either. but those damn grills annoyed me everytime i look at the front of my car, i couldnt take it. But hey if you follow the DIY on this site it is perfectly detailed,also if you need help then maybe next meet ill show u some tips or maybe help you out, i mean im only 16 so that alone should show the level of this project..the hardest part was the spraypainting, and only because i wasnt thinking and started the project late in the afternoon. When the time came to spray it was dark outside and i couldnt see that well.
