new Custom Grill & rims - update - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

fox_prime · 02-26-2006, 11:30 PM

I've finally finished my custom grill. I think it looks good from a far view; kinda looks like I got a body-kit in a way. Although I wasn't able to take pics yet, that's because I'm waiting for my rims to come in soon. Can't wait to install those when the rain is gone! Don't worry guys, I'll be sure to post up pics when the time comes. Oh, and I can't say what model I bought yet, not until I've fully installed them...hehe.

Nice I had a grill once. I used the Gutter Gaurd from Home Depo. And the wire cut my hand open a couple of times. So if it is the Wire thing I give you mad respect!! and if it isnt Still respect for custom stuff!

Thanks for the props; I actually used Bondo (at first, I was like...wth is that?). The whole thing took me 6 hours to complete. I still believe it would've came out better, because it looks "okay" up close. I just dig the far view like mad!

Overall, I spent about $150 for the materials. The TRD emblem was hard to find, since it was a custom type.

As you can see from the last two shots, I carelessly made some scratches on the frame (had to use a hack-saw to cut out the inside portion of the OEM grill).

You can also see where I had to use Bondo at. I wish I would've sanded those portions better if I had more time, but I was eager and just rushed it thru the end. =T

But overall, I really admire the far-look view. Up close it's just "okay" to me. Let me know what you guys think.
