My DIY Grill - Check it Out!

[slammed2tone]

Alright well after getting tired of looking at the gaping hole in my front end, and having an unusual day off, i took a trip to the jy to find a grill! Unfortunately all they had there was a 9293 grill, my cars a 1990. I said screw it and got it anyways. I'd like to thank the others that posted up DIYs on here, you guys are my inspiration! Here we go!

Here it is all apart and cleaned up



Here's the pieces of gutter guard i picked up at canadian tire, cut to fit.



All bolted back together



I threw it on the car to see how it looked



I hated it lol, too much bling going on for me. So i decided to paint the grill inserts! Back together again!



I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. I hated it again, too much plastic going on behind it. So i cut out the vertical plastic support bar things, leaving the middle one intact for strength. I sanded down the supports really quickly.



By now it's dark out, but i snapped a pic for the hell of it. Yea i know it's a really terrible pic.



I'll get some better ones tomorrow! Any questions, suggestions, useful criticism welcome!

i did mine diff i cut the plastic and sanded it smooth yours is almost just like mine but my mesh is set back a bit post pics when i take them

[loud92CB7]

anyone painted the mesh a color like blue or green???

[slammed2tone]

@ typeg yea i know, figured that out when i mounted the grill

Thanks for the positive comments. I figured i wasn't the first, and i know i won't be the last, i can only post in the beginner section, and saw a couple posts about grills recently.

I'm debating whether to paint the whole thing black except the honda badge.
maybe i could do the mesh orange? i'll post some pics tomorrow, i haven't even had a chance to see what it really looks like in the light

Yeah u should go head and try to find a 90-91 grille and do the same shizz to it. They look better than the 92-93 grille plus since your car is a 90-91 it'll fit perfectly. And oh yeah, like dude said fix yo bumper.

[Dominican Felix]

it think it would look better in black

[slammed2tone]

i like the emblem a lot better on the 92-93 though . it doesn't fit too bad, i'll rock it for a bit

[kingcb7]

personally i like it
