I had the idea of doing the outer bezel with plastidip...bad idea or no?
Forget about it, I have not see any grille with the PCS, you'll have to go all custom!

Did you guys use wire mesh and paint or black plastic mesh? Also, how did you attach to the grille surround? Thanks.

This is exactly what I would like to do. A DIY would be awesome if you get around to it.

Did you use a fender "F" badge, how did you attach it... Someone could make this grill and sell it, I would buy one in a second.

plastidip with your wheels looks pretty darn good!

I used a wire mesh and painted it. The mesh will fit perfectly to the grill surround if you put the grille surround on a sheet of the material and use it as a stencil. Mine is secured with a few zip ties, but i have tested the grill at 170mph with no support other than the pressure of it attached to the bumper.

The Fender F badge has a sticky back and will stick perfectly to the grille

Will the PCS L badge fit on a 'normal' IS F?

@ D2M, love your wheels! Are those the Forgestar F14s? What sizes are you running?

All of them look great! I've been considering of changing up the grille surround from the chrome, and this thread has some nice ways to jazz up the front some. I like how the front looks with the "L" emblem delete with the mesh grille that a few members have. Good stuff!

i have the PCS on mine and dont know what to do! I have plastidipped (yes its now a verb) the surrounding bezel and am satisfied..although not completely (although it was cheap and easy!)

But now my PCS "L" emblem pops out too much
