Autoexe Grill with Stock P5 Mesh

[YP5 Toronto]

I basically purchased a stock bottom grill from a dealer for about $20 USD. Then did a bit of cutting and some creative usage of Epoxy and voila:

hmmm.......let me think about that one...I am Canada, so shipping and duty may be an issue. Let me see how much it would cost to do everything....

If not...I will be posting a How-To on this project.

thats exactly what i'm doing =D

the lower mesh is $27 in the US.

out of curiousity, now that your done do you think there is enough material to do 2 upper meshes for an ae grill with one lower mesh?

 

[YP5 Toronto]

its the height that gets you...I looked intially at trying to save some of the grill to do another one and from what I could estimate, it couldn't.

That's killer. I always thought my grills looked a little weird with the 2 different types of mesh.

GOOD JOB!

thanks for the nice words....


as for the rear....not a fan of the rear stuff from DGM.

Honestly, I don 't like it. The gaps in the mesh are too big for an upper grill. That's just my opinion. I'm going for the same design as the lower grill but smaller gaps.

Hey thanks, but I don't have the Konig holes!! I was considering them, but I really wanted the 5Zigen typhoons. The only problem was that the offset wasn't right and they wouldn't fit, so I had to settle with Knock-off Exel Mimi's instead.

I do know the feeling of being beat to the chase though. As you can see YP5Toronto has the autoexe grill, lip, stock mesh, motor mounts, full suspension, HID, sway bar, and CF hood that I've alwyas wanted!!

 

[ghetto waggon]

Yeah I've got the eyelids and need the lip and grill as well

Fun projects like a crash and tickets slowing my progress down though

We yellows in our own little elite club anyway

PS is that 20% tint?

 

[mrpopnfresh]

No, I didn't know what it was until I asked the guy who installed it. He told me it was 5% limo.

 

[changedman]

what'd the autoexe grill set u back?

 

[CrAzY-P5]

Yo dude

please do a How-to topic on this thing.. looks crazy and saves me some money too

 

[jdm_mp5]

Wow thats really nice looking. A How-to would be nice YP5.

Oh BTW, you were right about the gaps...I can see them in the picture.

Looks amazing! Much better than simple mesh
