Well, since there is virtually NO aftermarket parts for the Gen 3 Camry, I decided to make my own custom grill.  Here is the start of it.....

Used a Dremel for it all, and killed millions of brain cells from sniffing burnt plastic.  It is NO WHERE near done though.  I will be learning how to Bondo myself!  8O

The Bondo I got was FiberGlass Bondo.  NO idea how to use it.  Then again, I have no idea how to make a custom grill, or ANY custom stuff for that matter.  I just learn as I go, like when I did my custom antenna for my car.  Just winged it and it came out well.  Cheesy

hey adam you might want to fiberglass it first then smoothen it out with body filler

Materials needed:
Mask
Fiberglass cloth
Resin
Liquid hardener
Body filler
Gel hardener
a lot of sanding!!!

I was thinkin of doing that, but I decided not too since I do not have a damn clue how to use firberglass.  What I ended up getting was fiberglass bondo, which is much stronger then regular bindo.

from the way that grill looked on Sat. it's come along way.  I thought you were gonna have a hard time flattenin the pieces that were sticking up.  What you use? a sander tool on the dremel?

looks pretty good.  Can't wait to see the finished product.

the fiberglass bondo is a bitch, and shouldnt be used on small jobs, very hard to spread out, i was going to use it for my buddies car, then i said screw it, busted out the fiberglass and went at it, came out really well, except he tried to move some dirt with his front lip that i fixed at 30 mph, only a small crack came back
