ill post sum pics when i start but the pic above is sample of what the grille looks like stock. the grille is the perfect height and will kinda give it a s13 gtr grille look i think, depending if i paint it black when im done. tell me what ya guys think of the idea :)

Probably not going to look that good


IMO, no grille looks best

[J.Silvia]

thats y i like what im doing cause it cost nothing and its not gonna damage anything factory and if i dont like it the stock grille goes back on =)

[Ian]

ok...I'm not sure what the point of this thread is then

[J.Silvia]

the point is im gonna try sumthin out to see if i like it... =) im pretty good at makin stuff incase ya havent seen the pictures of the interior of my car.

[ThatGuy]

Then why didn't you wait until you had done it to post a thread about it. If it turns out like shit, now you look stupid for creating a thread to hype it up.

[randyjordan]

its gonna look wack/roice/gay

but hey...we never know till you try

imo no grill is the best grill..

[J.Silvia]

lol how did i hype it... im not gettin all mad or anything i like gettin feedback positive or negative. cmon

[Ian]

I'll give you that. Your interior job was sick.

But I can guarantee that this will not turn out that well.

[J.Silvia]

ya im not tooooo sure but hey its just a extra part i had laying around from a different project and i work for toyota so sometimes i have todo PDI grille installs on TCs and other stuff. i was like i wounder if i can make a billet grille look good in my s14 so i will find out 2morrow =)

[J.Silvia]

Well i decided make the grille tonight and im not to sure about it. it fits great but im trying to adjust to the look of it.

imo, i dont like it at all. looks wack. i rather leave it stock or not at all

[FaLKoN240]

Looks like a Cadillac.

Put some D's on it!

[CoasTek240]

paint it black or polish it up a bit and get some more shiny accesories.

[tru_40sx]

not very appealing! sorry to rain on ur parade but it just dont look good.....run some daytons and white walls! juss playin:coolugh:

[koukimonster139]

looks like a fucking caprice.


you have too much time on your hands

[Ian]

I hate it personally.

But it might better if you get it to sit further back

[lilredstiffy]

that looks horrible

[projectRDM]

I just pissed on it from my house. Go wash it off.

[chmercer]

clean! :bigok:

[TiNMAN]

paint it black

[J.Silvia]

looks like a fucking caprice.


you have too much time on your hands

i would have to agree with both ur comments lol. this is the first saturday in like a year i havent gone out to davis and went to a party lol...gotta start paying my student loans back :ugh: i kinda thought it looked like a caprice to, im not to sure if i like it myself but i havent went outside in the light yet to get a better look at it yet.

[kdashy]

Police interceptor.

[InlineS13]

You should paint it black and sand the face of it off so you can just see the front of the horizontal lines. then polish it. you know what I mean? and it would maybe look a little better on an S13 with a silvia frontend.

[98koukile]

There's paint on ebay I can't remember what its called but its supposed to black chrome your emblems... I think that would look badass. Set it in a little further too, more of a sunken look

[chmercer]

uhh, black clearcoat? haha.

but yeah. black chrome = chrome + black clearcoat

also that grill sucks and you should throw it as hard as you can at your front windshield to teach yourself a lesson

[Team Rootbeer]

haha. backyard special!

fuck the windshield
hit yourself in the face with it. then everytime you look in the mirror the imprint it leaves will haunt your eyes.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

all it needs is modified brash boy aero, and it'll light up the 1997 tuner style world.

[bigOdom1]

sell it on ebay as jdm customized grill or throw it in the trash

just make it go away

[J.Silvia]

lol its already off my car i wasnt sure how it was gonna look it was just a experiment to see what it would look like. I also wanted to see what zilvia and some of my friends would say lol. So far funniest comment is that it looks like a caprice :bigok:

[J.Silvia]

i can always count on the ohnest but sometimes harsh truth here at zilvia :)
win some ya lose some but ya grille has been trashed.

[irritatedmax]

cut off/out the second and fourth bars then paint it black. it would aleast then look similar to s13 grille.
