Okay, I am really wanting to make a custom grill for my car. I need steps to do this and what type of paint I can use. I have seen many people's sites with the grills, but still don't know what to do to well. Let me know guys/gals, Chris<P>------------------<BR>Mazda MX-3, Black, Automatic, 1994 Base Model V4

i recently did this with my 92 GS and this is what i did.<P>1) removed front bumper<BR>2) cut out the center deflector thing with a hack saw blade (works better with just the blade)<BR>3) sanded the rough spots with a dremel<BR>4) went to Lowes and bought two gutter guard screens with hinges<BR>5) went to automotive store and bought on small can of my colored paint, a can of clear coat, and some body filler.<BR>6) used the body filler on the sides that i cut out and sanded smooth once dried<BR>7) painted the sides with the body filler then used the clear coat.<BR>8) cut one of the screens to fit the small top hole and replace the stock plastic piece<BR>with the screen.<BR>9) trim the sides of the other screen and use the four hinges to clip on the top of the bottem hole and use some twist ties for the bottom part<BR>10) put your bumper back on your car<P><BR>If you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask.
