subaru_styles Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 well since i have alot of free time, and my dremel back, i decide to start my grill project. still have alot of fiberglass, bondo, and sanding to do. here's a quick pic to see what a badgeless rx grill would llok like.. they look like this.. I cut out the emblem with about 2in of the slat on each side then form another 2dr grill i cut out the middle slat big enough to sill the opening. it's my first time trying this, so i got alot of gap to fill...

subyrally Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 you should do it like the jdm sti and such, and have it so hat the only thing on the grill is the model emblem off to the drivers side of the grill.that looks sweet.cant wait to see the finished product.

I haven't done anything with grills, but I have repaired plastic fairings for motorcycles (last one was from my '01 ZX9r .. 900 ninja) with a very in-expensive welder I bought at harbor freight. I sold some of these fairings on ebay for a good price. I would think over time that the vibration would cause bondo to crack since it doesn't expand and shrink at the same rate as the plastic under it? Either way, that grill looks great! I can't wait to be able to get pics of my custom bumper up when I have my own computer on-line again ... especially once I have the Brat painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
