AC/Dustis Grill Mod

[Dreamcast18]

Since I am not travelling this week, thought I'll do something to the black kat before putting it up for sale.

Jenn really liked Dustis' mod to the grill, and since it was a 'economically responsible' mod. I decided to go that path.

Edge Molding:Went to Kragen and PepBoys. Kragen didn't have any and Pepboy's U-shaped molding didn't have 3M adhesive and were sold in ready cut (2 strips of 20" for $3.99). So ended up with this one which is not U-shaped. Thought it'll be different from the rest of the kat packs in SoCal.

End Result:Using some Meguair's Quik Detailer, I cleaned the grill and started applying the molding. Wala!

That looks great DC. Really makes the grill pop without being an overkill. Nice work.

Whats This ?

selling the black beauty.....

Thanks everyone for ur nice comments, I'm just not as 'mod-capable' as the rest of the folks here :wink:

Hali:The black is awesome...but it is really painful to maintain! Might put it up for sale for feelers once the heat wave passes..will only sell if I get my asking price. Good reason? How abt a minivan? haha..just kiddin'

[halicat]

We know you want the cash to buy a Smart car :wink:

the upkeep on the black is a chore....
I wash mine everytime I use it...and wax it with Zaino every week or two...

I don't mind.. its a labor of love...

The Mr. Clean Auto Dry system works well and saves having to dry it by hand..

[TooHipCat]

Looks good DC! :tu:

Hope you think twice about selling. :cry:

DC - I'll need to collect the $10 user fee from you for using the AC Chrome Grill Treatment System. Its a one time charge,,,,,even if you "space" the molding out among the grill vanes.

Send $$ soon,,,,,,,I need the money for a new pair of shoes from the thrift store, lol.

Looks good!

How abt a nice picture of a Big Tach instead of $10?

:wink:
