Have pics of frontend I started

http://maxima.cardomain.com/member_p...157_5_full.jpg

Now remember this is work in progress, so be nice. The bumper is going to be made into one piece. I also am going to add some nice mesh I have, I will post pics of the fished product by this weekend. I are going to mold the grill into the bumper as well, because someone bashed it in and broke my clips that keep it straight. Let me know what you all think of it so far. Depending on peoples reaction I may have a mold made and put it out on the market.

Thanks,
Kyle

O.K. I hope i can explain this... well we are going to take the grill and put it to the bumper so it looks like one. It won't be two pieces it will be one. Right now my grill sits sideways, so I figure what the heck. I can't really explain it, but I hope that helped a little, or did it?

Hole thing to the bumper, I am going to make mounts on the back,so it is easy to put mesh in. Should have a nice look to it. I put in gutter guard but it doesn't look as good as I want it to. So I am going to take out the mesh I have in there right now.

Is that the wings west kit that you stated with? Also, I can never get a straight answer, when you cut the fascia piece between the turn signals, how did you seal it over to look smooth? Is there bumper foam in there?

Yes therre is foam in there, if i make a mold you guys should be able to cut the foam so it fits inside or remove the foam all together.. that is what I did. For the grill we are going to put some self taping screws and then mold it together, we'll see what happens. I'm pretty excited about it.

Grille

I always thought it would look nice to incorperate the grille into the front bumper. Kinda like the Stillen kit for the new Max's. Should look really good! Very original. I just attached my grille to my hood. Not too many liked, but I do. All that counts! You get A++ in my book!
