Opinions plz - aftermarket grill/emblem

[ipleadthe5th]

The grill was only set in place, not actually screwed into the bumper. And I used tape to place the emblem on the grill so this may not be the final product. What do you think?

Before

After

Not bad...

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

its not bad, but honestly, the new grill doesnt look like it fits good at all

 

[ipleadthe5th]

Yeah I think its warped just a bit. And there weren't any screws in it

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ah, gotcha...would help if i read i suppose. not bad then.

Where'd you get the 5 from??? That's actually not a bad idea to do, even on a stock grill. Props to you man.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

looks like its from the new Mazda 5 emblem

I think the stock emblem does a good job of hiding the hood latch mechanism or whatever the hell that is behind the middle of the grill.

The "5" looks cool, though.

 

[ipleadthe5th]

Correct emonkey, its the new 5 emblem. I found it on www.ebay.com.

Sorry, I think that looks horrible... too bad it doesn't fit correctly.

If it was more flush, and had some nice mesh behind it..then it would definitely have some potential...but it looks somewhat ricey

#1-Paint the hood closer latch thingy gloss black to hide it better

Your grill will not fit perfect when screwed down IMO. It looks like an autoexe replica grill which i once had and it fit bad also!!

I would spend the 300 ish dollars and get a DG grill in f/g or c/f!

As far as the 5 idea, I think it looks good and is a nice origional idea.

it looks good. personally i would take the red off the 5, or paint it silver since your car is silver.

and yea the grill definetly doesnt fit right....but at least you have one lol

 

[ipleadthe5th]

The red on the 5 is the tab to remove the adhesive cover from the back of the emblem.

Between the horrible fit of the grill and the 5 not being the P5 5 Im gonna have to say no. i think having a mazdaspeed logo where you have the 5 looks alot better

 

[BlkWidow]

i like, but i dont like. i like the idea, but i would think it would be better with MP5 or the rear hatch logo. like these photo

 

[ipleadthe5th]

I am looking for something a little more subtle.

 

[JoshP5]

Me too--that's why I'm keeping my grill stock.

The red on the 5 is the tab to remove the adhesive cover from the back of the emblem.

oh...well. nvm then.
i think its a cool idea though. im not sure what ill do when i get my DG grill.
i know that im gonna either replace or relocate my horn....i hate where its at, theres another hole towards the PS headlight that i think i might try to move the horn to.

 

[ipleadthe5th]

Why do you hate where the horn is? B/c its visible?
