    thanks guys i am going to paint guy tomorrow. i have painted rims before so i am thinking of doing my stock rims. this grill came out horrible but like you guys said atleast i tried. i am still in high school so i wanted to test it out. it seems a lot easier online. i am thinking of asking that paint guy to do the satoshi grill. how much do you think it will cost with the satoshi grill and fixing my around part and how much just for the fixing... all it needs to be fixed is that it just has to be repainted. i already sanded it down and removed the old paint with aircraft remover.

    hey man........if you dont like the way it turned out the first time, you can always sand and repaint......trial and error sometimes works best. and dont mind the rude comments....you'll have that once in a while.

    Reznor88 is a guy on here that makes satoshi's- you just pay him and send him your grille. I think if you send him it by a Fri. he will have it back to you by Mon. then you just take it to the paint guy.

    Search him or satoshi and you will find him- he does a good job. He will let you know pricing and all that- It will be MUCH cheaper than getting a body shop to do it.

    hey, tough luck about the first time around. I tried the black headlight mod and messed one up pretty bad. I had to completely redo one of the headlights, but its no sweat man.

    I also notice how things work around here. One person starts flaming then like a pack of wolves everyone does it.

    However it works the opposite too. Finally one person (oakley, and johnny in this case) says knock it off and the wolves (some the same as before) jump in and say "ya guys stop flaming".

    It’s amazing how sensitive some of you guys are. “Please don’t hurt my precious feelings”. I guarantee anybody who has been on a sports team or in the military can handle a little ribbing unlike some of you wimps.

    yeah definitely don't think its about his feelings. he asked how we thought he did. so saying wow looks bad or wow looks good is one thing, but when you make jokes about it and make fun of it, you're kinda kickin a guy when he's down.

    so i doubt he's a "wimp" or anyone else for that matter.

    I want to clarify my wimp comment. Aaron is not the wimp. If you look at his posts he never had a problem with the critique. It’s all you guys that are trying to coddle him like he’s some kind of baby that are wimps.

    How wrong.. It's just like sports or the military. Some of us are encouraging him. Not putting him down. ribbing is fine, when you might know the person.. But when it's someone you don't know, or have never met its just being a dick.

    How many of you guys have trained in body work and paint? I think the answer is none with most of you.

    With Aaron’s example encouragement is ‘go find out what you’re doing before you tackle that again because there’s no easy fix without any knowledge or skill’.

    Coddling is ‘it’s ok just sand it and paint it again and forget about all those mean posts that said your job showed no hope of success’.

    If telling the truth makes me a dick so be it.

    I was just making a general statement, nothing specific to what you said.
