WTB 99-01 Grille or someone to customize it

Postby pvu » Thu Mar 17, 2005 1:27 pm

I sold my grille to one of the member here a long time ago for really cheap (had a different sn) because I got a body kit. Now, I decided to change the bumper back to stock. I bought a bumper along with the grille, but the grille was in a rough shape so I tried to make it look like Tito's grille, but that didn't go so well. I cut the grilled apart, that's the easy part but the hard part is sanding it down. So...looking for a stock grille or someone to help fix up my messed up grille, if possible.

Couldn't you just get a Dremel and cut the slats down more, or even like a metal file? When I painted my grill, I used a #150, #320, and even some #600 sandpaper on the chrome areas. The outside turned grey along with the middle bar, but it did get very smooth. Primer, lightly sanded, painted, and clear coat and it should be good. I'm not sure on how you would attach the mesh, but I think you could save it. :D
