I went to Home Depot and picked up some parts and made up a valence grille for my 2K max. It is made of white plastic (no rusting issues) and is attached with thin almost invisible cable ties. I am not sure if the image will work (if I placed it right into thread), if not please go to my page http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/732189/1 for more pics... Any comments?

 

i am not feeling the square pattern. But I admire your work. It looks nice. I would have done it with a dimond pattern.

Want to post a DIY?

 

DIY is.. remove the splash guards under the bumber.. put the chicken wire behind the grill and zip tie

 

yeah a diamond pattern would have looked better. I found a diamond pattern which was a lot thicker than the regular chicken wire. It was n the section where you can get threaded rods and pieces of sheet metal... not in the building materials but somewhere close to the garage section or hardware section.

 

Thanks :-) I also got the diamond pattern piece of gutter wire, but that was made of galvanized steel, so would either need to paint it or deal with rusting. I put them on both and felt that squares look better as they better match in color to the color of the car. Also I was not too keen on the steel color look and was too lazy to prime it and paint it to see the difference :-)

 

i was expecting crap, but thats not what i saw, i like the square look, a matching upper one might look intresting.

 

not feelin it,...looks cheap. Way to be creative though.

 

very subtle, looks tight, nice match with the white car..............almost inspires me to do the first real cosmetic mod to my whip.............nah clutch is next.........but nice job.

 

I'm not feelin it either, but you did a good job. I can't say much, only mod I've done is tinting the windows and my stereo system. lol I think the diamond shape would have looked better. It is original though.

 

Hehe, thanks for the compliments and critique too. I like the originality of it. I did not think it would look that good either but after I put it on I liked it, especially how it blends nicely in color with the rest. I'll try putting the same behind the main grille and see how that looks. If it looks anything good, I'll post those pics too...

 

are you putting the burger back when you do or leavin it plain jane?

 

i like it... i think it looks good. best of all no rust to deal with, i just might do it as well.

 

Hey I think it looks nice on a white car any other color nah, but yes very creative...

 

"are you putting the burger back when you do or leavin it plain jane?"

Sorry, did not understand the comment... I am from Canada and such phrase is not used here :-) Mind translating?

 

Aw, thank you guys for the votes of confidence!

 

I like it... looks good

 

I like the look. If you slap a Stillen sticker on it, you could sell the "kit" on e-bay for 4-500 bucks!

 

true....

Not feeling the square pattern either... A+ for ingenuity though!

its hot blows the leaf collectors out.....

 

not feeling it but its different, its not a ricey mod so if you like it then you should be proud of your work.

 

How big is the piece of plastic? Would you be able to turn it 45 degrees to make it a diamond shape. Good project!

 

I definitly like the stainless gutter guards better. Pack of 5 for like 5 bucks at home depot.

 

That's an idea! It comes as a big sheet 3'x5' so I still have some left over to play with. I'll give it a try on the weekend...

 

it doesnt look horrible....but it looks better than stock.

 

I do agree that it looks better than stock, but i think, like some others, that a diamond cut pattern would look better.
