Caskyline made that grille, he took off the emblem and molded the molded plastic over the gap. I really like the clean look it gives.

Wet sand (I used 3 different grids to wet sand) , primer, sand, paint. Problem is that most ppl dont know how to use a spray-paint and they glob everything on. Start spraying a few inches before the object u want to paint, then in one stroke move all the way to the other side of it, dont stop over it, go all the way past it s few inches then stop spraying. If u start or stop spraying directly on it u will get puddles of paint. And do several thin coats, instead of trying to paint everything in one shot. Do 1 pass, maybe 2. Let it dry, repeat. Oh, and hold it about 12 inches away from what youre painting so u get fine mist hitting the object, a lot of ppl get really close because they want to get full coverage on their first pass.

what does it take to turn the grid in the taillights off, is it a plug you pulled or was it more involved then that?
