    Got bored today... and decided i wanted a color matched grill :D
    The end result was not what i expected, but it will do for now...
    I'll be painting it anyway on "Socal Mod Day"
    Anyway... here are some pics:

    You can't really tell in the pictures... but, i accidently streched the vinyl too much on one side and it ripped... So basically i had to use two pieces of vinyl.
    Im not too happy wiht the results...
    If it wasn't for the vinyl ripping, it would've been perfect..
    but It's all good though... I'm just gonna paint it on Mod day...
