Custom JDM Grill Fabricated
hey guys.
lately i've been working on a custom grill for zee F.
I epoxied grill mesh to a fiberglass grill surround, epoxied a metal plate onto an F badge, drilled holes (almost drilled through the emblem once)
, and had to add metal plates to the tabs of the grill to fit into the plastic piece in the engine bay.
still didnt add the rubber rain guard on top, but here's the finished product
From the look of the grill, i'll probably pick up a few ponies, not from the grill being "less air restrictive", but from the F badge

wouldn't you make the same argument about the stock grill, or any car grill? :P

true, but just like relocating an air-filter near the front bumper of a car, it increases the odds!
i tend to think positive though

I like that mesh without the scoops. With scoops, I like the OEM one better. Looks good though!

Looks good, but I think the F logo is in the wrong place.
