Hey guys, just did some photochopping (sorry about poor skills), tell me what you think of this grill, i've tried to make it look like a TJ grill, plus added some mesh and colour coded the border. I've worked out i can do this mod for just over $50, with maybe enough mesh left over to do the front bumper. Please note that this pic was taken of my car before the 2 tone, so the bumper is grey, but try to imagine it metallic silver (look at my avatar for colour). Tell me if you guys think it looks alright :)

It's not a KS grill its a modded TR grill (does the KS grill look like that???). You have parabolics on your car dont you? (i stole your caricature didn't i? lol). How much were they, cuz if i did the grill i wouldn't mind doing the lights as well, they look sweet. Anyway what i would do is take my existing grill, make the little plastic middle bit for it, paint it, and then do the mesh.

Oh and yea the parabolics are expensive, but awesome, 10x better visibility as well as good looking. Cost me 450 with the indicators.

Those grills look alright, but i was thinking more along lines of having teh middle bit heaps thicker, like on the TJ, and having a silver triple diamond badge in the middle of it. I also like how the bottom of the middle piece is rounded in my pic and is thicker. Might end up being easier to buy a KS verada grill, someone was selling them on ebay for $60 (he had 5 i think, only 2 left last time i checked)

Just started doing some more photochopping with my car (took heaps of pics today). My car is'nt a custom blue i dont think, i've seen at least 4 different TR's around here with the same blue, but when i went to autobarn my colour isn't listed as a stock TR colour :nuts: . Anyway i've decided to chop one of those verada grills on and see how it looks (pics abit small though :(). I'll have to look around for them, i can imagine they'd be pretty damn rare.

On your TR grill just remove the Mist Red thing and spray it a colour would come up alright I think the plain look is pretty sik
