msb175 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Well, spent the last couple days grinding, sanding and painting. Left the center on, but am debating whether or not I should just get rid of it. http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9112/img27847ho.jpg http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9349/img27851bc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKonBLACK Limited Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 looks nice, i would ditch the center. then make a walkthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 interesting ... i always thought the JDM version looked better with the center portion, but this doesn't quite look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlabs Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Ditch the center. The problem is that it sticks too far out into the front. If it was more recessed, it would look better. But a great DIY job regardless! -=- Livin life at 140 BPM -=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb175 Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 well, took the grille off and chopped out the center. now i gotta figure out how to fill the gap that once had the center on the bottom of the grille. i'll post pics when done.

bashopoem Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 i like it with the center on. without it you'd just have a big unsightly hole in the front of your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohmer1 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Center should have been left on. It looks cool, and gives it a very 3-d look. Now you have a big ass hole you have to fill. PLUS, it covers up the hardware for the hood hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nike923 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 +1 for walkthrough i like it with the emblem recessed on the grille. eventually that's what i'll do to mine. the rest of the grille looks good though, good job msb175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 was the center piece hollow or solid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 You did a really nice job on it- I'd agree that it'd look better without the center though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEBRAVO Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Looks good with the center piece. I think it would look even better on a darker car, black or blue. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
