Thanks forced induction and my emblems are actually vinyl, not painted, because I wasnt sure if I was actually gonna like it .

 

how did you do those headlights looks bad ass!! paint?

 

Is the mesh plastic or metal? I like the size of your mesh compared to the others. Although, the holes might be too big to stop a rock or something from going through it? I also like how you painted the remaining pieces of the original grille black & not the body color like staged06, just my opinion.

Another question, how did you get the old grille out? I took out all the pop-up clips, took off the Chevy emblem, and was having a hell of a time getting the stock grille out. I know there's a bunch of tabs holding it in, but even when I bent them back and tried to get the grille out, it didn't want to move. Did I miss something else that might be holding it in?

X2 (you mean the eyelids right?)

 

There are two plastic screws on eitehr side of the grill holding it to the bumper..take those out and its hould eventually wiggly out.

Hmm i think i took some pics when i did this on mine..if I can find em they would work for a nice How To...

 

Has anyone done this to a 2.2 Balt. The Lower grill is different, thats why I'm curious.

 

Looks absolutely great man!!! You did a wonderful job, and I like the black bowtie.

 

can some one photoshop that red one with just the mesh, not middle red stip and bowtie. i think that would look good to just have nothing in there

 

All the grills look great guys .

 

well i painted the inside of the light, and the eyelids are painted on, i am planning on redoing them cause i want them to come down just a tad bit lower for a meaner look.

there are a couple of screw holding the grill onto the front bumper. the mesh is plastic and i was somewhat worried about the size, but i really dont think that it will be much of a problem, because i figure it will keep big stuff out and at least slow little things down enough to where they dont do any damage.

top grill would be exactly the same, but i have no clue on the lower.

 

So you just cut black vinyl and stuck it on, i kinda like that idea better

 

just remember a heat gun is your friend and will make the vinyl alot easier to work with and stick like a sum beach. Take your time and it will be worth it. I also did my ss emblems as well...heres a pic.

 

Wow that looks pretty sweet, im gonna have to learn how to work with vinyl and a heat gun

 

man thats bad.......thats what i wanna do! how hard is it? where did u get the vinyl?

 

MOST PEOPLE USE GUTTER GAURD (BLACK PLASTIC MESH) AT ANY HARDWARE STORE. i OPTED TO USE GAV. STEEL MESH WHICH WAS A TOTAL PAIN IN THE @SS BUT LOOKS AWESOME, IF YOU USE STEEL BUY LOTS OF PAINT UNLESS YOU WANT TO KEEP THE STEEL LOOK..

 

Panama? Where in FL are you?



Now that looks GREAT. I hate the White inlays on mine, looks like I'm gonna have to procure some red vinyl and have at it!

 

THey all look nice

 

that would have to be custom done... really really custom. you could prep it up and get it ready for paint but unless you have professional equipment to paint your gonna have to take it to a body shop and its gonna turn i 20 dollar project into a 800+ project.

im in lakeland florida my friend has a condo up there and we go up there every few months.
