I've been thinking of an inexpensive mod i could do to my car, and i came up with this

before:


after


opinion?

 

if it is the same as body color then i would approve

right now it looks a little to light

 

you're right, i edited it and reposted it.

 

i like the stock grille, although i kinda want a painted scion emblem in the middle

 

approved.

 

in your cas it looks good. might be different if it didnt match the car color. in case of bsp its already black

 

I like it.

 

if you can get a body shop to paint and clearcoat it it would be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i thought about doing that. but i would have just used silver spray paint and don't know how the result will turn out. i've also been thinking if i should paint the black part of the headlights silver, i'll get a chance to do so when i retrofit projectors. not sure how that'll turn out either. can somebody do a photochop of silver headlights on a SSM?

 

That looks nice. I think it's better when the grille and the body's color match. I saw an AP TC with a white grille. :? Ewww!

 

what do you guys think of this:

does anyone know where i could get a set of stock grilles if i wanted to have an extra?

 

Looks nice man, go for it

 

Go for it Ryan. Don't be afraid to make a few mistakes that's how we learn. If you do it with automotive spray paint, work in a ventilated area, uses an adhesion promoter to help it stick, do **light** coats and wait 15-20 minutes between coats so it's even and doesn't run, patience is key...it will be a 2 day project. 1 day to remove the grilles and paint them and the next day to put them back on. Also, use a clear coat.

If you need/want any help, let me know and your SE brothers will be glad to help.

Looks nice!

 

how do you remove the grills?

 

i think it looks really good! i was planning to do that with mine, but i was alittle scared, now im still a little scared but oh well
im thinking the silver like yours will look really good on my flint mica whatcha think?

also if anybody could give me any pointers on taking the grill off and exactly what paint will work the best please let me know!

thanks a lot

 

i thought the grille just snap off. look at the tech section for foglight install, it tells about removing the stock grille.

 

it looks good on flint mica... heres my quick photochop

 

Any progress on this mod yet? I'd like to see a finished product!

I have a IIP tC... would silver work on it?
