Re: Paint Grill?? *Question Update on Pg.2*
Wow, either everyone is very impatient or there are a lot of people who want to see this thing take shape. I am really interested in seeing the finished product because I have a green civic.

That turned out really nice man! How much did all of that cost and how long did it take you, total man hours-wise? Fanfreakingtastic! That sure beats paying a body shop to do it!
