Sneak peek at my custom grill. Upper and lower combined. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

THUMPER20X · 09-20-2010, 10:23 AM

Just did the rough fitting for the two grills. I wanted something more aggresive than the heritage grill but didnt want an overlay and I wanted to really accentuate the open front style. Have to now fabricate some fibergless bracketry and some finessing of the edges. Then Imma decide whether to go with just the old school red white and blue badge or a black bowtie with the chrome strips. Im kinda leaning to the red, white and blue banner because the grill is really second genish IMO. When the grill is done ill just p-chop it to see which is the best option.

To do it right and keep it from going mishapen I had to cast the outide of the insert, then lop out the french fry cutters and then fill the spaces and then do the inside perimeter. Probly the best way to do this is actually and insert that after you take away the grid you slide an insert in and bond it. Probly a good body guy could knock these off. Im not one just always trying to personalize my car lol. 3 thing I didnt like Chrome tail bezels,,,,gone. More dramatic spoiler that looks almost stock MPD1 and done. Now the real bit that Ive never been wow about the grill. Thanx for the good comment though. Ill post up next time it all painted with the embem and then on the car which probly wont be till Novemebr or so because Im trying to get as much driving in as possible and hopefully doing an alternate set of fenders for it. Then Ill do the grill and fenders all in one shot.

Thanks Eric. And coming from you thats a very high compliment. Pros vs. Joes? lol The spoiler is still amazing after almost a year, no issues fitment or durabilty and tons of compliments, the dealer I bought the car from want to do some bolton appearance packages and I totally praised your work and gave them your info. Whenever people see mine and then a stock spoiler they say the stock one looks pretty weak lol.
