Finally started my own Satoshi

After a lot of research, I finally started my own satoshi grill. I purchased an 05 OEM chrome grill from eBay for 50 bucks. Did the fiber glass repair kit method. Here are some pics...

I bought a Dremel 3000 before the process...this thing is amazing.


I didnt take any pics during the fiber glass step. This is with the Bondo body filler sanded.




With filler Primer..

Painted Black(3 coats)

Clear coat added(3 light coats, 1 heavy)




I didn't tape all of the chrome surround because I am going to take it to the body shop to get it professionally painted because apparently super white is a hard color to match. I will probably be buying fitted mesh from HomerTaco

 

Nice work so far. Should look sweet when its finished. What part of Charlotte are you in?

 

011----

 

Thanks man..I live in south charlotte, southpark area.

 

Looking good man. I'll have to reference this during my build this weekend!

 

sweet grill....i cut up my 2011 grill thinking it would fit a black billet i had on my 08 but i ended up zip tying the top two holes to the grill lol this is why I started a satoshi mod

 

Thanks!

 

No shit, I live close to Southend, not far at all from you.
