Custom Grill finally one the Max

Got everything done and set tonight.
The pics aren't soo hot, but its hard to take pics of a black max in the black night.
More pics will come after work tomorrow





Let me know what you think. Good or Bad. :bash: :bang:


Yes, I know she needs a wash. It'll happen tomorrow also.

So far I like it. It will only look better once it's washed and cleaned up. Makes the car look mean

honestly i would remove the "hump" in the center and make it similar to the AT grill. It will look 100x better.

+1 on the effort tho.

Yea man. Now that I can see it better I don't think it flows with the car. But holy s***, you did a freakin AWESOME job on putting that thing together nonetheless

EDIT: remove the lump and will look like an AT Grill

Thanks to everyone for voicing your opinion.
It is disappointing that most dont like it. But I'm no sure if I like it myself.
I still haven't seen it in broad daylight on the car. Just finished attaching it so I can take it to work tomorrow and really decide for myself.
On a plus note as this project kept going on and on for weeks, I am more confident with my skills for bondo, epoxy, wire framing, sanding, and painting.
I should be getting another stock grill I got on ebay in about a week.
So, when that comes I'll probably get busy hacking that one up.
And if I can buy a cheap stock bumper cover I may get started on that also.
Here's a chop I did last night.

Hey Maxxxpower - i just purchased the AT grill a couple of weeks ago and I have the 04-06 OEM grill sitting in my garage. If you want it or need it for your project, just pay for the shipping and it is yours

I appreciate that. I'll keep that in mind. But, wouldn't you want to hang onto that thing in case of an accident?
Here's another quick chop of the bumper cover.

I opened the thread and thought that was a 4dr civic. I'm sorry on your loss.

Why the bump anyway? You have the herp?

don't like it. look like it's missing a grill. also the bump is super strange...if i saw your car from a distance i think i would assume the grill just wasn't installed...
