The only thing your car is going to stand out from is the cars that actually look good. Your car is a perfect example of what not to do to a car. Enjoy your rice, and btw eclipse gst's are not fast cars.

I got them from ebay, just search, under car neon, should come up to be like 40 with shipping. And about the bottom mesh, I KNOW it sucks, was my frist attempt, I am going to redo it, and the logo has been removed, the top looks great though, ill retake pics on another weekend (the version 2.0 of the grill project).

Rice
I dont know why you guys keep on chanting this poopie, I KNOW THIS ISNT GONNA MAKE MY CAR FASTER, so stop saying like I THINK IT IS. I used to own a Mitsubishi Eclipse gs-t I KNOW what a fast car is, I got tired of having to fix it up every weekend cause it broke so damn much.

YOU TOOK THOSE PIC WITH A SONY DIGITAL CAMERA?
It was a minolta dimage camera.

Riiiight. Im the idot. Im not the one tearing up a perfectly good car and putting in chiken wire and auto zone parts on.
Im sorry I am never going to dish out 120 a peice on chicken wire that is precut from those rip off grill companys. The fogs actually look nice on the car, Id rather NOT spend the 400 for the stock fogs, 400 for lights? I wonder who is the idiot who actually gets them.

The reason we are on this forum, the reason we go and try to be different is not to be stock but to stand out from the rest. It is my frist attempt at this poopie so calm down.

This topic was good until it turned into a Jerry Springer episode...I can hear it now "JERRY! JERRY JERRY!" ...please, someone put an end to this! The Mods look horrible...and people feel they need to argue about that...well, honestly, they must be blind! But seriously, there is a reason companys like Grillecraft are still in business...

Yeah, Id like to actually make a bottom grille to go along with the top. jsut havent had enough time to do it.

there are alot of people hating b/c they dont have the skill or creativity to do something themselves (not talking to the genuinely constructive criticism)

I know this is an old thread but hopefully the owner will read this.I think its great that your actually trying to design and craft your own modification to your car.Not all of us have alot of money to dish out.I agree the grill might look kinda funky but hey you'll get better at it the more times you try to make it.Keep doing things to your car that make YOU happy,dont worry about what these other people think about your car,they arent paying for your car or driving it so whatever your tastes I say embrase(spelling) them!

This thread is why I don't come in the tC Owners Lounge anymore. Not the car, the people who replied with "Puke" and "Rice." I think the the top grill looks great. The Neons are a nice touch, but be careful with those, I know how here you get big fines for them

enough with the "rice" comments, people find any excuse to use that word these days.

was it rice 50 years ago when guys modified their cars? no they did it for style and performance, just like most guys do today. and i say most cause i know some do it all wrong. it's ok to be different, the sooner everyone realizes that we're not all alike, the sooner we'll begin to accept each other's differences. unless you want to continue to perpetuate your ignorance, then there's little hope for you my friend(s).

nice glow kit for the price. keep up the good work(attempts) kenshin.

Please dont encurage him anymore people. I have never tried it but Im sure I can do bette than that. Anyways just do the bottom all over again and you will be fine. Why dont you cut a much smaller hole and then bend it in to make it bigger .. Little by little until it's the right size for the fog light. Until then put the stock back on and save the jokes people will through your way

Not a fan of the wire grills, but it's a good attempt at a DIY mod that costs $2.50 to do.

Practice makes perfect I guess. Hope you got the bottom grill sorted out. Here's a hint for next time: on a piece of cardboard outline the head of the fog light, then use that as your template to cut them out your new grill.

As for the underbody lights, to each their own.

'nuff said.
