Since it's the weekend I hope you get time to work on the grille.
Ivm anxiously waiting to see the final result. You've got my hopes up.
I ordered a new grille to do a DIY grille delete and used that honeycomb mesh to replace the pony.
Nice job. But I am more interested in the color and stripe package. What color is the car? Magnetic? And what is the stripe package?Ordered an extra grille to do a DIY grille delete.
Since I had the honeycomb section that I cut out for the grille and my original grille, I though I would try my hand at making my own OEM looking pony-less grille delete.
I first cut out the pony from the cut-out grille and then used that as a template to cut out the section I will be replacing on my original grille.
I then cut out the pony from my original grille.
Here is the honeycomb cutout behind the pony grille cutout.
Here is the honeycomb cutout.
I need to trim up the honeycomb cutout and remove the blocked off sections. Then i can glue, sand and paint. Hopefully it all comes out nicely.
Yeah, getting pulled over by the cops is a real laugh riot.

My car is Black with matte black stripes and a metallic gunmetal pinstripe. more pictures in this thread.
Campus cops are much more sheltered than municipal police or state troopers. City officers tend to know more about motorcycles than cars. Some state troopers are car enthusiasts and are very knowledgeable about makes, models, performance, etc. Have met a couple of state guys who race on the weekends. One was a drag racer, the other an SCCA warrior.
Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah. Let's get back to what matters. How's the grille coming?
Finished trimming the cutout and stuck it in the oven so i can give it a bit more curvature. Ready to glue it up.
