How to make your custom grill!

How to make your custom grill!

Postby Solaradude » Tue Oct 21, 2003 6:14 pm

I really didn't like the chrome outlining and the toyota logo.....so this is what I did.

1. Took out the Toyota logo (Use dental floss)
2. Took out the grill.
3. Sanded down the chrome part (Used Black & Decker's sandmouse)
4. Rinsed it with water and waited 10 minutes or so.
5. Spray painted with Flat black (twice) and waited 30 mins.
6. Spray painted with Clear coat ;)

It took me about 2 hours.

I think I'm going to put the Toyota logo back on after I spray painted it black ;)

I tried taking my grill off today and I started by removing the top 3 bolts, and the next thing I know, I'm starting to pull my bumper off, so I don't think I was going about it the right way. How would I go about takign it off?
