Making Spec B Grille from stock grille?

[Tim_]

Hey all,

I have been searching for a while now but cant find anything along the lines of this. I dont really know what the grille is reffered as (i think the spec b grille or maybe sti grille)

Currently have this grille


Have my stock grille at home:



and want to turn it into this:



Or this



I have seen someone on here make a grille before but i think it was the stock grill to a corazon grille.
Can anyone either/or:
1) Tell me if this is possible?
2) Share any links or info that would help me

Thanks so much
Tim

Yes you can make one like this

or like this

Info is in the second thread I'm pretty sure.

You can't turn a stock grill into a corazon grill, corazon is a brand & not a re-modelled stock grill.

Thanks for your help Zach.

Link 1 is what i want to make
Link 2 gives me a good idea on how to make it (this was the link i was reffering to in 1st post) one thing i am trying to get my head around wether to curve or bend the mesh to give that slight bulging look. Maybe im just tripping out and its actually flat.

Thanks again.

A bit of heat will get the mesh to curve.

Im halfway through doing the exact same grill....

Oh ok sweet, keen to see how it turns out!
are you doing it pretty much same as this but just mounting grill at front and bending

[cruisn]

No, a little different, but mesh right at front.

Could you give me abit of insight as to what your doing differently (or a link to DIY when your done haha)

I have never done any fibre glassing so im keen to pick up the tips.

[cruisn]

No fibreglassing on this one. Its been half done for about 4 months.

Pics when I can.

if you feel like getting rid of your current one... im keen

Good to know mate! I think grill number 2 will be a long weekend project and even then i might keep both just to change it up every now and then. Will let you know if i come round to selling

[mynameisdaniel]

Mine's been half done since June... Feel free to post up lots of pics, interested to see how you attach the mesh to the front...

[Tim_]

Hahaha yea this will be a long process, plus never fibreglassed before so should be interesting.

Im havent really thought that far but ill pretty much be copying this if i cant come up with my own solution

[mynameisdaniel]

Is that one being held on with cable ties?

[Tim_]

Yeah but i had to really look to notice it. Thats my backup solution, hopefully with enough brainstorming and beers i can work something good out
