    Yup. Gonna color match it.

    You gave me hope... you gave me inspiration...

    (also took me a long time to figure out you were/are jr97 or whatever your previous name used to be)

    You're assuming that's even a possibility?

    I'd love to do a satoshi but there's no way I could pull that off.

    Baby steps, my friend... baby steps.

    I've never used bondo or fiberglass. I would buy another grille if I ever get a wild hair up my ass to do it.

    Truth is seeing Homer do one then claim he'll never do another due to difficulty... really isn't much of a confidence boost.

    Sure. I wouldn't mind trying it for myself. Might have to for mine, or make a flush mount somehow to hide a intercooler.

    So here's a question.

    Do you think I should color match the Toyota emblem that goes on the center of the grille?

    I thinking it's going to be hard to match the sheen of the black to that of the plastic and that, since it's a darker color (Sunfire Red), it might look kind of cool.

    I still have some color matched paint that I will have to use on the corner lights, so I could easily do the emblem at the same time.
