I finally got around to cleaning up the patchwork in my grill after shaving it. I was going to spray it back to stock colours, buuttt, after doing the white coat... well, the picture speaks for itself.

I have a bit more sanding and painting to do, then the mesh and emblem go back on.

Should look pretty damned hot.

Damn, that actually DOES look like it's going to turn out really nice. :shock:

Black mesh and which emblem? Factory?

Hmmm. . . might not look bad . . .

The pink background would be a bit much, though . . . so anythng you do to it would probably help. :P

Yeah....I've been wondering what to do with the replica JDM grill I bought.....paint it body color or different color. More then likely will paint it body color.

When I paint my car (sometime this decade :roll: ), I'm gonna have my original grill painted body color, since it got overspray from the last paint job anyway. If I don't like it, I'll stick with the grill that's on the car now.

I think I'll probably like the body-colored one better though.

I think with something like this if you are gonna white out everything else you should have a white/black badge in either pattern. Not a fan of pink in any form, except for Pink, but a black on white would really stand out.

Ehh, the pink badges on Subarus are overdone in my opinion.

They never looked good to begin with.

Pink suspension parts on the other hand are hella sexy.
