1/8" Extrudedaluminum. A little time. And some clear coat (to prevent corrosion.) And it's dirty but it's 45 degrees here, so I'm not washing it now.

Now the center grill has been black plasti dipped. I think it looks pretty even with being able to see the intercooler.

If you're talking about the top grill, I am going to, but I'm waiting to get the piece of aluminium.

I would actually like to get the front bumper thatdocurley has, but I don't have the money. My bumper is kind of trashed from the previous owners fender bender, so I'm just trying to make it look descent.

It's also not so intense from further away.

yeah i agree, theyre just enough to cover the radiator support but viewable enough to show off the FMIC
