Decided to make a new from grill, the emblem is just way too big (IMHO) and detracts from the lines on the front end of this car. Bought a new grill to start working on, got a nice deal on it from a black friday dealership sale.
Dremeled and filed everything out
Fiber-glassed and compounded the base from where the emblem was removed
Primed the frame
I ordered the grill material from customcargrills.com i wanted something thick and as close to the factory look as possible
This next part was a lot of trial and error, fiberglass didn’t want to stick to the abs plastic, tried tiger hair stranded fiber and results were not good…third times a charm….ended up testing some JB quik and this stuff was money! really bonded well to the plastic. lot of time spent cutting/forming and sanding to get the grill to where i was happy with it
Final sanding before paint
Primed
Painted gloss black
Out with the old and in with the new:
Bumper back in place
Wrapped chrome trim in carbon fiber to match the rest of the car
Finished product….. I absolutely love it!
