Stock grill (or stock looking) BLACK w/o emblem

I dont want the mount fuji emblem on the front of my car really, but i want to get the grill painted black. I took of the emblem and realized that it will not look to great with a big hole there either haha. What are my options here? i know that some other members have painted their grilled. I want a stock or STOCK looking grill that is black. What would you guys suggest i do to debadge the front of my car and get the grill black to match my car?

To recreate the two bars on the grill to cover the hole, you will a lot of time on your hands. I was done by a friend that is very good in fabricating grill. He made two metal strips epoxyed them to the grill and used bondo to reshape and match the existing parts of the grill. I'm very happy with the end results..

that looks terrible... I mean the car now looks like it is missing something in the middle... get your new emblem soon! I don't understand why people take the emblem off the car or change the front grill on the G35 it ruins the look of the car... the car is sexy the way it is... changing the emblem just makes it seem like your embarrassed to have a g35.

gawd i love how it looks black... especially without the emblem. I only like it the same color as the car on black and gray cars tho. Ducatiguy where are YOU!?!?

Re: Stock grill (or stock looking) BLACK w/o emblem

dang that looks sweet hound. I just don't have the patience to keep a black car clean [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]. That's why I have good old easy maintenance silver. the same process was done to my grill. An old member named TSguru made 2 inserts for my grill.

I then brought it to my favorite body shop and they actually welded the pieces in first. The grill has a thick aluminum coating over plastic. After they welded they flushed it with bondo.

Would you like to sell your Mt Fuji emblem? I am looking to buy one from the trunk for my new front grill.

Let me know
thanks
