Bored: Operation JDM Grill

Had a day off work today, and decided to work on my grill!
I was trying for the Gen 2 JDM grill look. Tell me what you think .

Used:
1 Can Ultra-Flat Black Krylon
1 Can Flat White Krylon
1 Can Crystal Clear Krylon

Morning: I hated the chrome


So I went to the store and got some paint.

Afternoon: Finally got done painting the new one!

The corner lights are going in the trash soon.

I'm talking to this guy in aussie about some clears, so no worries.

The valence is screwed too, but that and the bumper are going in the trash as well soon. Getting an es250 front from a guy.

Haha. Yea it is a buzz word but really that is the jdm version of the front grill. The jap gen 2 grill usually had the thicker top bar the same color as the car and the rest black. The trd logo of course was just an addition, regular had just the toy logo.

It is almost impossible to find what I am talking about as in like a picture because I believe there are none. I found maybe one heh.

Thank you though, I'm trying to improve my cam little by little. This was just something to do.
