Thats what my car looked like just from cutting out the stock plastic grille in the bumper and adding mesh, and the upper one on the hood was a little bit more complicated than that. It took a few hours to get the effect I wanted. Currently im working on a custom front bumper, and soo far it looks scary good. I took a bumper cover from an 87 LX and cut the top 1/3 off the cover and im using it for a lip, and im fiberglassing it in to make it seamless and add strength. Ill post pics when its finished, but it might be a while:super: :werd:

sorry, this close up pic is kinda old, you can see handprints from where i spraypainted it chrome and didnt wait for it to dry.

i just got really small screws, and screwed the grill to the middle plastic pieces.

my webspace got good webspace got cancelled, so copy and paste these links into your browser.
