I've worked my ass off on this thing. Im not a car buff or anything so Im proud I got the job finished. Now I've got a 94 v6 xle with gold bagging all around....a fresh gold metallic grill and gold plated exhaust pipes. Ill try to get a better pic of the exhaust later!! Hope yall like it!!

Looks sweet, im really digging the gold exhaust tips to, flows very well.

Do you have a pic of the front of the car? It's hard to see the grill well from that angle.

the tips look cool, the grill doesn't

everyone has an opinion.
car is far from finished though haters will help it get finished sooner

i havta agree, i like everything but the grill

maybe if it was flush it would work better ... it seems like it doesnt quite fit right now since its not cut for the headlights or the curvature of the hood

I would recommend using the original grill as a frame, painting it gold if you like and having the gold mesh inside of that.

Kadeayena · 05-19-2007, 11:21 AM

ok that makes sense, I was going to try that actually ...use the original grill as the frame...but it was taking so long....I just wanted it over. Thanks for the constructive criticism.
by the way what do you mean by flush"venom"? thanks

Yea using the original grill will def make a big difference.

Venom_5 · 05-19-2007, 01:09 PM

tahts what i mean ^

you know how the original frame curves with the shape of the front? well your grill is just a flat rectangle so it looks kinda odd

there is a DIY tutorial on how to cut up the original frame in this forum, i think if you use that to cut out the center bar [keeping the outline] and add your mesh, it would look better
