BUUUUUUUUT....

their grille goes behind the frame.. im installing mine in the middle :)

alright alright this is for the originality :bowdown1:

Thank you thank you thank you..

total cost so far... $30
remaining cost... painting the frame.

lol ... keep up the good work....

I like it and its better if u make ur own shzit like ur doing it, in my opinion. I almost did what u are doing but I went with the SSE grills.

thats what I want, thats more of my taste in a grill........ you are tha man!!

Majesty, that looks great man, nice work!!

Be careful if/when you paint it, do it right, plenty have posted bad experiences with chipping and flaking.

That looks really good. Even tho i'm not a fan of the tooth, that looks good as is. I think you should keep it as is.

thanks for the support guys :)
i really like it too!!! well worth the $30!!!

now i like it so much i dunno if i should paint the frame or leave it be..

so can someone PLZ PLZ PLZ photoshop the frame and midsection blue????


Edit: What do i call this?? The Mesh Grille? lol

mesh toooth grille. that looks great, dont paint it!

Don't even paint it, It looks tight as hell like that,like a CTS-V IMO

that looks good!

not the best, but it will have to do:

I like it painted!!! Paint it!!!

keep it as is, and when the tooth decides to chip or peel, then paint it body color.

I think when painted body color it looks better totally stock...

With the mesh you have the tooth compliments it and looks great!

I'd say paint it as well, that photshop looks clean!!!

What did you use to cut the stock "teeth" out with..?



Looks sharp BTW!

Great job, anything is better than stock IMO.

i used a small hack saw for wood or thin metals. i cut clean through it... and i used a fine file to smooth it out.


i like the wait till the tooth chips a little and then paint it body color idea by Pal.. that way i get to keep it like this and then when time comes, ill have another new look for her all painted up :)

thanks guys!

Edit: does anyone know how i can change the topic title to Completed rather than Under Construction.?

once you start a thread you can't change the tittle of it, you can change everything on the 1st post under edit...

i updated the site with some more pictures (this time in daylight)

Very nice DIY. :clap:

I'd buy one if they went into production!!

Damn man that looks real good. I was wondering where did you get the products to do your grill?

Hmmm... Do you mind if I borrow your style? I'd paint the tooth and frame body color.

style is there for everyone and anyone to do... :doublethu

get a small saw to saw out the teeth... make sure u dont saw against the frame of the grille cuz it will ruin it...

the mesh grille can be bought from any automart, advanced auto parts, or even home depot... under $30

cut out the mesh to fit the frame making sure its just big enough to get jammed in there(make sure u dont scratch the frame with the mesh).. all contact points were glued on (be carful u dont use more than a couple of drops cuz the glue can ruin the frame finish, and the mesh finish)...

good luck guys.. and show us ur finished grilles! :squintdan

edit: if ur gonna paint it... cut out the existing frame, cut out ur mesh sides.. then take it for paint.

Looks great would you be interested in making them for sale I see huge profits in it for you. That s a beaut. Keep up the good work.

thanks bro

i couldnt charge a fellow 6th gener for it... id gladley help anyone out without $$$. but that said, its an open investment for all u guys to uptake :ben:

This is the best grille I have seen. Absolutely MINT. Great job..now make me one! I will send you my grille and $$$ for your work.
