Kevin622 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Finally got the emblem now just waiting for it to dry to put on my car! http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/ehhockeystar44/LegacyGT/6237C634-5458-45D3-92F4-5DEC772102D2_zpsdmvrjsbs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nospmoht04 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Trying the grille having the insert set back further to use the oem lip border more, rather than attaching it in the middle of it. It'll look more like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nospmoht04 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 With this nothing would touch the chrome area but it also wont be chrome, it'll be black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffer Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 How are you going to fill the gap between the insert and the oem grill ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nospmoht04 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) How are you going to fill the gap between the insert and the oem grill ? Once the insert is attached and dried in the center I'll be able to press it into the sides a little more and everything will get a little closer. After that I'll attach each spot with the patch panel adhesive. You can use pieces of tape to make sure it all dries perfectly flat and when it does I'll sand it into shape a bit and you wont even notice it. With a dremel and sandpaper you can sculpt the stuff.

12sechatch Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I like that 'set back' slightly look. Just FYI, whatever black paint you used originally isn't holding up well to rock chips. I'm not trying to blame you or anything, just want to let you know so you can use something a little more stout this next go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nospmoht04 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Is it the inner insert that's chipping? Because it's a pretty slick plastic. I plan on scuffing it up more and using adhesion promoter this time around. It takes a lot of time to scuff up each specific honeycomb shape but if it's needed I'll have to do it. I was considering an epoxy primer but I feel like it's going to be too thick and it's quite a bit more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I may have to make another when I was doing mine my father told me to set it back in that area so there was a lip but I didn't listen and I wish I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ^^can't you just buy a 'real' one? The reason we need one of these is the JDM ones do not fit our USDM bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodOfKAPOW Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I wouldn't know where to get on. Plus i don't imagine it being cheap either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The JDM honeycomb this is designed after doesn't fit Rev A-C JDM GT bumpers. It will fit direct on Rev D+ (JDM/EDM 07-08) with the spec.B JDM bumper, or with mods to the earlier year cars with the spec.B bumper. If you have the GT bumper (I have the same one) the opening is smaller so the JDM honeycomb is too tall for the opening (I tried to figure out a way and it just wouldn't work). I went with the JDM sport mesh grill for an aggressive option that fits with that JDM GT bumper. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

nospmoht04 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hey guys, grille is coming out nice. Had a few delays with having to order more materials and vacation and whatnot, but I've been working on it a few nights in a row and have gotten a lot done. I'm very happy with how this one is coming out. I went with the slightly set back look like I was saying and the adhesive job is coming out awesome. It's very clean and smooth looking and I haven't even sanded anything yet. I've got it at work right now and a lot of guys around the shop are really impressed so that's cool. I'll bring it home tonight and get a few pictures posted. I've got a few little spots to add some more adhesive to touch it up and then I'll sand it all out. After that it's paint and primer work and it's good to go besides the emblem which is easy. Having made one already it's going way easier than the first time around and it shows. So yeah, pics tomorrow and I'll go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
