Hey all,

If you saw my thread looking for suggestions you know I was looking for some suggestions as what to do with my extra grill, if not here it is:

Here are the results:





Thanks all for the inspiration and help!!

 

Sorry to say it, but really doesnt look good. I love the color, but it was a poor job.

 

Thanks for the color kudos, what should I work on for next time?

 

Love it. Paint the Fuji black!

 

the job is not bad, just that leaving the Mt. Fuji chrome would've been better IMO.
can we get shots further out? i wanna see the whole car with the grille if possible

 

It looks good, but IMO to pull off that look you need blacked out headlights and/or rims. If you left the Fuji chrome it wouldve matched better.

But, as long as you're happy with it then np

 

I like it. Looks good.

 

How is it a poor job?





Anyways, good stuff on the mod! I like it. Its unique.

 

LOL i was wondering the same thing, "it looks good but poor job" lol
Thats the one compliment one critique rule lol


Btw it looks great!

 

It may be the picture quality. But the emblem looks like it has tons of tiny air bubbles, dirt or something.

 

The emblem paint was a silver/dark silver combo color with metal flake in it too. It wasnt a straight color, I think that is what you are seeing whoseyourbuddy, good eye. It wasnt the color I was originally looking for, but its kinda growing on me. Ideally I just wanted to tint the chrome, but grew impatient once my short attention span kicked in so I bought this color. The rest is satin black all covered with matte clear.

Here is a pic of the whole car, ignore the bird cr4p and pollen that flew around since our downpours yesterday:



Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

I'll do the headlights if I get an extra set of those like I did the grill ( but doubt that'll happen ), and I didnt like the chrome OE emblem since I thought it stood out too much, and didnt want to hide it too much and go all satin/matte black so thats why I went inbetween. I could always pop my OE emblem in, or paint this one a different color....... nice to have options

 

I like the look more than the OEM one, but I would have left the logo chrome. Anway what color did you paint the grill, looks like grey to me

 

i think it looks good,nice job on being creative and not doing what everyone else thinks looks good.

 

Its black (satin finish), I think this pic has better color balance, but worse res./focus (I'm no pro )

 

I like it alot. Ever think about doing it emblemless?
