Santa brought me grills for Xmas!

Prototype from a local vendor here in NorCal....a lot of work...but he's thinking through how to make it available for sale! As soon as I hear and I will let everyone know! Very high quality powder coated mesh, attached to existing Dremel out OEM frames....

Here's another shot....I need to black out the "white" behind the upper grill, but other than that....real happy with result and look!

The headlights are another one off project I did with Umnitza. I bought the car with halogens and they are local, so I went to the store and told them what I wanted xenon/w halos and HID fogs and you see the finished product. Had the Joey mod done by Performance Image another local shop. I've been fortunate to have all of these shops 10 mins from my house.

I think we need some more and closer pics of the lights, I'm currently doing a xenon retrofit on my CM. It's going to be tight!

They look real. The top looks great. I think the bottom looks a little unfinished/rough. If the mesh was behind like the top it would be perfect. If it can't, maybe rounded corners would make it look more finished. Looks good. Why haven't I seen you around town?

Agree. The way the stock bottom grill attaches he couldn't get it to fit when the grill was attached from behind like the top. I'm having a piece "insert" made then I will have him wrap it around the edges so it doesn't look like an "air vent"....lol....but it's free as he's using my car as his prototype.....

I'm in Walnut Creek too!

Not yet. Still some refinement on the bottom grill to be done. As soon as I know, I'll share it here with direct contact information for the vendor.

With that grill, I think my dream of embedding the driving lights within the grill might be getting closer to reality. Like a ford mustang...always been curious what it would look like on a Mini.
