This is the finished photo of my center grill (after a lot of modification).

Problem 1: The CRP center grill is to long and need to be cut back. If I cut it back I will loss the end support piece.

Problem 2: The CRP body does not have enough surface room to mount the grill to the body (next to the tail light).
Here is the beginning of the fiber glass build up for the mounting area. The area is built up. This is the completed area with mounting holes.

 

I had the ends shorten and rewelded a new end support bar.

I also cut the end of grill to match the contour of the tail light bezel.
I had a metal fabrication shop add on four 1/4" PEM studs to the grill, they sand blasted the old paint off and powdered coated on a new black finish. PEM's are great for adding on a stud without seeing the head of a bolt.
Now I just match the hole pattern from the PEM studs to the body I am now finished with this phase of the rear grill, I still need to add a piece of honeycomb steel vent material to the inside of the grill.

This is a picture of my rear center grill all ready to be mounted. I had the Lambo bull first nickle plated (since the OEM bull is aluminum), then gold plated. I also had the 30th emblem Laurel Leaves plated in gold as well. To support these emblems I made clips using 22 ga. steel strips; bent to fit around the grill slats to form a sort of clamp. Holes were then drilled to afix the emblems. The 30th emblem has nuts, but the bull I needed to use speed nuts.

This is the rear grill that I built, I spent a long time getting the first row just right to look OEM. The rear trunk is not mounted just yet so that is why it looks kind of funny.

Here is a shot of the rear end. Much done, much to do.

I built this rear grill this is the 2nd of two i made and this one looks way better than the first. Imade a jig and built it on the car to insure a good fit.
