Impromptu drifting leads to customization opportunity
So, last Friday I ended up doing a little unplanned Tokyo Drift move on 494
( Sorry no pics as of yet). As I slid the nose along the overpass columns, I packed so much snow and ice chunks into the lower grill that it popped all the connection points for the upper grille. When I got to work, and went to clean it all out, the upper grille just fell off. the lower Stainless insert I had made is mangled beyond recognition.... the bumper seems fine, but the inner well plastic is messed up a little.
Never one to pass on a silver lining, I ordered a full BILLET upper and lower grille for the car @ $165.00, much less than replacing the grilles with OEM... should be here in a week. I'll have befores and afters then.
I am looking for driverside inner well plastic ( USED ), anybody found a resource locally that has a scrapped Scion or two?

Ok, so custom appears to have ment I do custom. The upper grille is in, with slight modification, but the lower is another story. I have found that I need to manufacture some sort of attachments points. I have also found the I did crack the lower valance left of center. Once I find the archive with my Photobucket creds, I'll post pics..
