Project Grille

Project Grille
The plan:
-Change stock grille from chrome to black
-Change grille from black to Majestic Blue
-If none of them look good, ill get the billet
With some freetime, a lighter, scissors, razor blade, and black adhesive paper.... i finished a quick prototype of the first phase.
Its not a perfect job but I just wanted to see what it would like in black.
Im taking it to the dealer to get it painted M. Blue after i get some of your feedback on the black.
Let me know.

I think you should base your decision on what you like... I would keep in mind if your going to change wheels or not and what style also. My.02

Adhesive paper doesnt do well round corners and bends. Heating it makes it more elastic and gets rid of creases and some bubbles.
So do you like the black look? hate it? could live with it?

I agree with Pal. Body color all the way. Someone on here and on cardomain has a M blue max with body colored grill. Very nice. Personally, I think the stock grill is fugly and should be replaced. But, in a pinch, body color is a good alternative.

Finding the funky symbols is easy... start --> run --> charmap.exe -- it tells you the combination to use for each character or you can just copy/paste.

Nismo, no places around me have it either, so I bought my mesh grille from driverfx.com ... the powdercoating is another story though
