sorry for the small pics.. it took 20 minutes just to get these small ones uploaded hah.. stupid dsl

 

looks good man. MO PIC !

 

looks sweet, are you running the 10mm shims in the
rear ? x2 on pic waiting

 

no i dont have spacers in the rear yet. i kinda just spent over 800 dollars on rims, tires and springs, so i am spent out for a little bit with the car.

 

Looks pretty sweet. I'm not feeling the red grill on the TCM but it's all about personal taste, so props.

Edit: If you want the red grill... a red tinted OD grill would look freakin sweet. just a thought.

 

thanks man.. yea i got bored one day and wondered what red would look like on my car, cuz i wanted red wheels.. so i figured it would be like 4 dollars to paint the grill and i could get an idea of the two colors together.. i liked it so i got red wheels and kept the red grill.. im thinking of doing it back to black, but for now, i kinda like it.

 

the red aint my thing but it's fine for you. definitely unique. nice work. won't look like any other in your area i imagine.

 

maybe try red eyelids ?

 

what i really want to get next is the bb emblem for the grill.. so the grill will be red and chrome, to match the wheels perfect.

 

Looks good man, not really into the front grill though.....

 

looks good, not really feeling the front grill that much. Too much red

 

Three words: I AM LIE KING!

(I think I'd like to color-match my grill with my wheels. You did with stock grill and paint?)

 

yea i took the stock grill and the red paint is special made for plastics, i laid a flat black coat first then the red.. i need to clear coat it tho.

 

yea looks sweet.
but not too excited about the red grill

but its clean......

 

i like the idea of colormatching it

 

Looks cool. Only thing I'd do is add some 1/4" chrome trim to the grill bars along with the bB emblem. Give it a red/ billit look. It comes in a roll at autozone for around 15 bucks.
Then hit up Mike (AllianceMotorSports) for some 1/2" rear spacers for around 50 bucks.

 

thats a good idea.. i feel like it would look a little ricey though.. maybe not.. i may try it, i really do want the bb emblem tho.

an idea of mine...

so i have the perrin intake.. its red and comes up right behing the grill.. with the grill off, all you see is the intake piping and the filter.. what about having just a clear grill.. the od style but just clear with a light smoked tint to it.. so you see straight through to the red intake.

dunno what it would actually look like or even what it would cost.. but it seems like it would be awesome. probably turn out ricey tho.

 

It's doable with a thick piece of plexi and some L brackets. You'd have to heat it up some to get the contour right but not too much.

 

yea, what is your input on that look?

ive taken my grill off and just stood back and looked at the hole.. it looks pretty beast. but horrible to not have any grill, and bad for the engine bay too haha

 

It would be unique if you could pull it off. Maybe cut a section out of an extra stock grill and fill it in with a clear panel??? Anything is possible with some skillz.
I have a BSP grill with the chrome trim and always got comments about how it looked like billit. Now I only have the 2 center strips chromed and it gives a different look. You gotta try different stuff till you find what works for "YOU".
