DIY: OEM Emblem-less Grill
^ go to www.alsacorp.com and look at the product called killer chrome.
to get a good finish, spray the grill gloss black, clear coat it, and let it cure overnight. after 24 hours, give it a few dust coats of killer chrome, wipe off the excess coating, and let it sit for an hour. you can then give it another few coats of clear.
you'll get the best results if you get the grill as smooth as possible and don't use too much killer chrome. also, apply the killer chrome in the day time so you can see whether you're applying too much.

looks good guys , one question i live in canada ontario and it gets pretty cold hear. who hear has this done to an all year around car, wut am wonderig is with the bondo does it crack in the winter , i dont want this to turn into a yearly thing
that's a good point, and honestly, I don't know if anyone has done this in a coldweather climate. people have had good results with the fiberglass impregnated fillers though - that should hold up pretty good regardless of the weather.

Here's mine after the first coat of primer... can't wait to get this thing done so i can get the ugly gialla grille OFF my car!!!
This is my first time working with bondo and i think i got it almost perfect. It'll be painted Satin Black with a matte clear when it's all done
Thanks for the DIY Marcus and Chris, great job!

^Well it's a little to low for me to be able to get into the parking structure at school so I swap back and forth and for the moment the K2 is mostly a show/meet bumper.
