i know its off topic, but i wanted to see what you guys thought of my Z grill and foglight setup.
nobody has it, and i made it.
it took 40 hours of labor and cost bout 300 for all parts with foglights.

I know its not FI related, but i always post here bout my boosted civic, so i wanted to see what you guys think of it.

thanks,

i still think the front mount looks better, but, oh well, i think this setup is good too.
And its 1 of a kind, the way i like it.
Now i want to slap in some HID bulbs and ballast, and it'll be sweet.

 

to diy stuff

 

Very original and looks good

 

Yep!
that look good! with the fog it's great plus it's not useless!
great craftmanship.

looks pretty good imo ! you will sell a lot of these if you produce a lot of them $$$

got a pic of it stock to compare too?

 

this is the stock grill (crappy plastic grid)


heres what i made.

 

looks good, but doesnt look like 40 hours of labor..damn

 

maybe less than 40 hours of labor.

Cutout grill -- 1 hr
designing / testing (including test fitting,removing, and reinstalling) 16 hrs
Actual fabrication of grill -- 10 hrs
fabrication of fog light housing(black pieces) -- 4 hrs
Fog light installation (including custom aluminum brackets and hardware) 8 hrs

total hours to make the grill and fog light setup.

39 hours +/-- a couple hours..

 

You need to take the pictures from a distance. That view is too close and so it doesn't look all that great. It's unique though, I'll give you that. When I say distance, I mean where you can see the entire car with the grill and fogs, not just the bumper and fogs. I'll get back to you on this one. Planning on getting a 350Z soon myself.

 

It looks like the pictures don't do it justice. Good on you for putting so much effort into it.

 

 

sorry, i'm not feeling it either, but the work is nice.

 

good job for diy, but it just doesn't fit my style. all that matters is that you like it though.

 

It looks go but doesnt go with the body lines of the bumper.

After seeing this pic, I like it.
It's different enough to warrant attention, but not tacky, or ricey.

 

you need a pic with both the fogs and headlights on at the same time...

 

Is it just me, or is it curved which makes it look like a smile? If it's curved, I dunno...if it's just an illusion, then it's good!

 

speedbeast, doesnt match the lines of the bimper?????

I bent the grill to the angle or arc of the bumper so it would look better than straight across bars. Also i only used 3 bars so it wouldnt look cluttered.
I hate when i see those cheap *** dime a dozen grills that look like chicken wire or a chain link fence across the bumper.

prime example below: this dude probably just went out and bought his grill from some mass producing fence company.He's got a nice car, but the grill looks so "out of place"....

 

hypa hit the nail on the head, took the words outta my mouth, "not too tacky,yet subtle, just the way i like it"

 

Looks like you did a good job, but I think i like stock better.

Yager-

 

STOCK BETTER, thats like saying "you like a stock turbo over a mammoth *** turbo".
STOCK SUCKS PERIOD
CUSTOM =
