    Well, I decided id give it a go. I bought a new grille from forgotten1 at WOTM and wanted to do a satoshi.

    I thought it would be easy..... but then i started it. It literally takes a few days. Fiberglass and bondo and sanding..... lots of sanding.... Anyway, here is the finished product. Not perfect but good enough for me.

    Looks good! Good work. The smily face on the only fog light shown in the first pic is freaking me out though.
