minuccims Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm kind of curious for undisclosed reasons. Waaaz Happy New year - New car itch? No bellmouth DP yet although AVO hopefully releases one soon. Aftermarket is slow but we are getting some attention. Had a nice visit @ IAG and ended up with two G-forces; new with blems for a little more than repairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apike11 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 EG black ice grill. Outer bezel sent out now that is black chrome as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faded-a-fool Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Interesting grille, definitely different from what everyone else has done. I don't like chrome too much but whatever floats your boat. Need some Supertones to fill up that empty grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apike11 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah I don't like chrome either. It really is black it come out well in pictures. Black chrome can only really be appreciated in person. Or I could learn how to take better pictures lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That looks great personally i dig the emblem location. Prob would change color if it was mine, but your headlights have the chrome ring to pull it together. Where did you find that out of curiousity?

faded-a-fool Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Also noticed he's got LEDs in the fog light location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apike11 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It is an EG Classic grill that I had done over with black chrome. And yes I put the leds in the fog light spot. I got them to fit in so well I decided not to get the actual fog lights. I think the thing I like most about the grill is the lower grill it really fills in that empty space down there.

Apike11 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It was a little dark out. I will try and get some better ones when it is not so dark. The lights in the headlights that are on are led bulbs as well. I couldn't get any good pictures with the hid's on. Hopefully i can do better tomorrow.

Apike11 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just drilled 2 holes and bolted them on after I used the dremel to shape out the outside corners to get them flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgen2.5i Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good stuff man the grill is different but +1 on doing something new that hasn't been done before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch113 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thats awesome Apike, what kind of grille is that lower? Grillecraft? Did you make that sub box or what? Def +1 on doing doing unique stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apike11 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The grill is from eg classic. It comes in 2 pieces. You might be able to just get the lower. Yes I made the box. Thank you. Its all fiberglass. Just took trunk liner and just masked of the molded liner that is already there. Then just painted resin over it. Pretty easy, especailly if you're carpeting it. I wanted to paint so sanding sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20LEGGY10 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Apike...did you make the box out of fiberglass? How did you make the measurements for the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apike11 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It is all fibreglass except for wood ring for sub and small square where amp sits. First I pulled out the trunk liner. Then I covered it will making tape. I then put my own trunk liner fabric in the pocket, and put fibreglass resin on the fabric. Once dry pulled it out of the molded liner and now you have the back of a sub box that fits perfectly in that pocket. I did use a little bit of fibreglass mat to strengthen that back piece otherwise I just used trunk liner fabric in place of the mat. Once you have the back down you just put the sub ring where you want it and stretch the fabric tight over the ring and around the back piece. Cover in resin once again. Cut out sub hole which I didn't put resin on so I just used a razor. At this point you can do a light sand and the cover in carpet. Or sand and fill until smooth enough to paint.

Rogue77 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Do you have to take it out if you want to get to your spare or trunk tray? Nice custom work on the sub. Not digging the grille, maybe plasti-dip that biotch?! I'm just here for the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
