Wow.. I really like the idea of doing this after checking out some pictures of a Sentra and Altima.

My question is after you cut everything out of the middle of it, do you just sand it with a really high grit.. I just can't seem to figure out how to get it all nice and smooth.

Thats what I thought.

I was talking to my friend about using bondo on my grill a while ago to get rid of the Nissan logo on the front but he said that it would be a bad idea to use bondo. Now I can tell him he is wrong. lol

I might give this a try. If I do though I plan on cutting the whole thing out and putting some mesh behind it. Idk how well it will look though with the piece sticking off of the bumper. Maybe I can just fit the mesh around the piece so it would look similar to the VersaSpeed grill. Or than again, I could just cut it off... but I don't really feel like ruining the whole bumper.

i have always liked tuner cars with white lettering on tires, so i started doing one tonight, it needs another coat still.

How does that paint hold up when you wash your tires?
