Duster Custom Grill
Let me start by saying a couple of things...
1. I'm not sure that I really like how it turned out. I saw it differently in my head.
2. Yes, I know that light argent is not correct for grills. But, the car will be painted in a dark charcoal color, so I wanted to give it a stark contrast.
I found a great donor grill, with no cracks in the main body. After some trial and error, a bunch of cussing, and a few beers, I got it to the finish line. Still a couple of small tweaks to do though.
I'm doing carbon fiber accents on this car (interior & exterior), so I thought the upper and lower trim would be a good place for it.
You may be wondering why the emblem has a red background instead of black. I grabbed an old emblem and removed the metal filler around the Plymouth symbol, then cut a marker light to fit and added some LED lights. I need to get a couple more lights to fill the area better, but you get the gist of it. It will work off the headlight switch, so when lights are on the emblem is lit. Should look pretty slick at night.
Like I said, I'm not sure if I'll use it or not. I guess we'll see if it grows on me once its mounted on the finished car.
