Did the pilarless mod a couple of weeks ago and just got around to taking some pictures of it.

munky69 · 06-15-2006, 07:48 PM

i did mine to, pretty easy huh?

sti robot · 06-15-2006, 07:48 PM

oh...i though about a how to but it's been done before.

Tips: sand more than you think. I have some collagen looking spots on mine. Take your time, use a proper mask in a ventilated area when using bondo. Practice with the bondo on carboard or something. It won't look as good as an esemes...but it only cost me $20. I used a sawzall to cut it...not the best idea...might want to use a hacksaw or something a little more delicate. I also used a dremel tool to do the rough sanding after the cutting. Be careful with the bottom part because it is very thin. I blew a small hole in mine with the dremel.

Did you sand the whole grill and spray the whole thing? clearcoat?

DARKSTI · 06-15-2006, 08:47 PM

sick!

SubyFi · 06-15-2006, 11:21 PM

Looks great but I would be concerned about a theif accessing the hood release latch through the grill.

sti robot · 06-16-2006, 04:47 AM

RdRacer: I rough sanded the whole thing and then wet sanded it. The paint I used was duplicolor metalic black. It has a bit of shine to it but not too much. I didn't use a clear coat so it doesn't look as bright as these: ese-grill (pillar-less) installed
