Cool spy photo of my 05+ custom grill

ok i have waited long enough...

my name is hacker, and i appropriately call this modification "hackers grill"

it goes into the paint booth tomorrow, and i still have a ways to go until completion. the hard part is done, the sanding has consumed 40+ hrs, but it shows.

stay tuned. i will be posting a complete collage from stock to not.

nice job. So did you basically just get rid of one of the horizontal bars and add a mesh grille?

cut the bars and used the lower one, suspended and tapered the logo, opened the side ports, smoothed all the gaps. it will be painted solid RR, and the mesh will be black.

hack6500 i was actually thinking of cutting it out liek you did then actually sectioning the two main middle bars together . to get the same effect that you have but a bit fatter and have a semi stock look with the stock shape you know?
