thanks a bunch guys! :D

I'm really happy with her, although there are a few more things I'd like to do to her.

I would like to find a way to take the turn signals apart to paint the inside of them and I have some vinyl eyelids I want to put on. I want to get an rs hood scoop and put that on too along with body matching the mirrors. I also got some 92 tails coming in the mail and when they get here I am going to smoke the white part at the bottom out completely and give a dark glaze to the red. Then lower it when I get some money for some agx's. Oh, and tinting cause thats pimp.

a really nice tint (i.e. not purplish color or bubbles) can make almost any car look 1000x's better. haha.

Did you buy the grill ?

Or did you mod it yourself ?

You'll only find an NA grill in the JY... and I would assume that they would be a helluva lot harder to make look 1/2 as nice...

I doubt it. The NA grille just has a few more little 'cross bars' on it. Nothing a dremel and some sand paper can't fix. It looks like he just cut off the cross bars, sanded it nicely and then mounted some mesh behind it. Probably had to repaint it somewhere along the line, too.

Just my 2 cents...

Customization is only limited by the imagination. :twisted:

hey guys,

it was a turbo grill (although i imagine you could do it with any grill). I just cut out bits in the middle with a saw and has a friend fill in the holes with epoxy before painting it black and putting some ricer grill behind it. Pretty simple, I got some pics if people are still needing help :P

super easy and looks great I suggest everyone do it.

I did the same with an n/a grille. It looks alright. I suppose. If you have low enough expectations.
I could (try to) post a pic if anyone's interested.

PLEASE POST"EM!!!

And... since they have like 5 things to cut it would look more hacked up... AND you have to paint the crome crap... More work...
