My Is-F Grille On Is250

[ahmed24]

Just completed my custom IS-F grille for my IS250.

Note: The IS-F grille emblem is much wider than the f-sport grille emblem. Its more oval shaped.

Heres what i did:

• * Trimmed the IS-F grille and made it fit inside the OEM chrome bezel of my IS250.
  
• * Did some plastic welding and bonded the two trims together with heavy duty polymer bonding glue from the rear side.
  
• * Sealed all gaps from rear side in preparation to pour liquid plastic from front side (hence sealing it from behind so the liquid plastic doesnt leak out)
  
• * Poured the 2 part liquid plastic polyurethane so that it seals all gaps and provides extra bonding.
  
• * Once liquid plastic set and became plastic, covered up with thin layer of plastic filler
  
• * Sanded filler down and once everything was ok proceeded with wet sanding and paint prep
  
• * Painted and clearcoated
  

I'm quite happy with the result and I think the difference is very subtle but it makes a huge difference

here are the photos. let me know what you all think
