Wait, what are we trading again? Hoods? LOL. I doubt u would want my hood after you see it in person, theres no scratches on it but just some spots where the clearcoat is fading because of the sun. (Nothing some elbow grease and some polish cant get rid of) Besides I kinda like my hood, its the only thing that makes my car different from Dittoz.

Damn that's looks very nice, considering how simple it looks. Nice work!

Kind of wonder what a Zenki would look like?

[spooled240]

I wanna make one for a zenki cuz I'm curious too, I don't have easy access to a zenki tho...just kouki's lol

i'm just messin w/ you lol i was thinking about trading my stock red hood for a VIS hood from k_c_b a while back but i decided to keep my hood

[Frank E Bones]

I know bro, its kool. I know how hard it is to part with something once its been on your car. I bet your really missing that turbo. Anyway cant wait to see that grill in person, good luck with the sales

Thats looks pretty dope son

I think this maybe be something i'd like to make

since i dont have much money

I made a template for a zenki one after I saw what you did awhile back. Don't have it right now because it is on my sisters computer and she moved out. It is made on CAD. I will give her a call and see if she can email me a screen shot or whatever and post it up.

Edit: ok she is gonna email it to me in a PDF form or something. There was one little tweak I needed to do but I cant remember what it was.

nice i'd like to make this in solidworks or something but i don't have the program it should be pretty close to the kouki one but just a little narrower

dittoz i just finished painting yours

[DMan II-40]

Yea it isn't that much different. I only have a paper model I made. I will go take a picture of it and post up the PDF. Also I made mine go as far back as possible so there is a little cut out for the hood latch.

Next post will have pic, and PDF (or screen shot of the PDF)

[DMan II-40]

In the pictures keep in mind that that is a trial piece I made out of paper. It sticks out a little to far in the middle.

The CAD drawing. The middle measurement of 4 1/2" should be more like 4 1/4" or perhaps a little less.

[white_ashes]

reminds me of a Mustang.....the Kouki one looks nice but the Zenki looks like a mustang IMO.....my opinion but maybe painted looks better?

[Razi]

I've seen spooled's car at a couple of meets and his grill is nice and subtle, I barely notice that it's there.

[DMan II-40]

I got bored and decided to make a test one out of metal. I don't have very good tools for it and I never made anything out of metal before so isn't that good but it is ok. I wish I had some air powered sheers. I am also trimming it to fit nice and all that good stuff. When I finish I will post it up.

[initial_jc]

what meet do you goto? and you should try google sketch up i think that you can export it from there to solidworks im not to sure tho

Paypal Yet?

Caaaaaant Waaaaaait!

Ok, so I mounted my test grill today. I had to do a lot of grinding and shaping on this bad boy. Looks really good I think, just need to work out a couple things then paint it. Once I paint it I will snap a picture. Then possibly make my own thread. I like to call it a Spooled Grill (since it was his idea in the first place).

After that I might make one more with better measurements.

[sr20power]

definitely interested in the pictures of the final piece..

[DrifterXRPS13]

Nice creation spooled! good looking out for the s14 community.

[spooled240]
