Sorry for the major fail on this thread! haha been working the last few nights so havent really gotten around to finishing my little DIY here!
So at first it wasnt too bad... I was a little reluctant to hack up my $900 grill (I called up Honda and asked them the replacement price) but I convinced myself otherwise.
I used a soldering iron to melt the centre bar from the grill but I eventually used a hacksaw blade to finish it off because it was easier.
I primed it at first but on the bottom grill there is a big cutout of where the "H" used to be, and it annoyed the shiiii out of me so I ended up sanding it back and bogging the gap in between, resanding, repriming, painting, and then clear coating. Paitence was the key here, letting the paint dry properly and painting lots of light, overlapping coats.
I got the paintmatch spray paint from Autobarn for $30, the paint itself isnt that far off, im happy with it. I installed the mesh by just cutting it to near the shape and squeezing it in. I need to fix it down properly, its not going anywhere at the moment but I will silicone them properly in the next few days when Im not using the car.
I need to do another few coats of clear tomorrow just to finish it off.
Here are some pictures of the project
Tell me what you think
I installed my 55W 8000K Low beams whilst I was waiting for the paint to dry...
