A few paint mods to my Roush fascia
 

Long time...

So this has pretty much been driving me crazy since I got my Roush fascia a couple of years ago. I wanted the Mach grill delete kit before I smashed my stock front end but with the Roush all you can do is getting the floating pony. There is already a piece on the Roush fascia in the grill area that is raised up as if you had the Mach grill delete in there. The paint was starting to come off on the lip and in the bend so that was bugging me too. So today I did a ballsy move and painted the sucker. I went to the auto parts store to get some stuff to clean my engine and ended up with paint also. I left the first picture for now because I was going to clean the engine bay tonight but ran out of time with painting. You can see how bad it is :) This weekend I will be busy under there.

So here are the grill pics. I also re-painted my pony. It was chipped up from rocks (looked like it had a skin disorder) I am pleased with the outcome. Maybe this will sway some of you Roush front fascia folks on here that have wondered what it would look like.

Came out sweet. How many coats did it take? :t:

Looks awesome slither, definately looks good. As if they should have done it from the factory.
Pony looks good in contrast to the dark paint, but I think I would prefer the original shiny finish.

everytime i see yer car i think of a grandma with a new boob job.


nice tits granny!

:D

LOL I can always depend on you Chris for great comments like that!

I put one very light coat on first and put several heavy ones on after that. I say I put a good 5 coats on there.

Thanks so far :)

Oh...and the pony was black at one point so I figured painting it the same metallic silver as the car would be different. I will have a chrome one back on there soon enough though.

that turned out perfect. Outstanding job! Looks a lot better that way

looks great..i cant stand when that part is the same color as the car.

you should look into doing the bottom part of the fascia where indents are on the sides.

Looks awesome man!

looks great. like the matte finish. mine is gloss tho.

looks great, what kind of paint did you use?

Some Advanced Auto Parts brand for spraying bumpers that allows it to flex on plastic.

I have seen that before and don't really like it too much.

You should do some performance mods. haha.


clean that engine bay man.

I know I know :) I bought the stuff to clean the engine but ran out of time. I am doing it tomorrow morning.

I have gears that have been sitting in my garage since October that I need to put in if that counts as a mod :)

My car mod money has been going to house mod money :cool:

House mods ftw. lol.

Plus Bahamas mod money lol

Nice job looks much better like that. But you need some Hp mods for sure.

looks great!

i love how u painted the part under the grill delete black.

Looks nice donnie, exactly like the Mach grille. And holy shit at your engine bay..haha

beautiful..and ..engine bay like pcola said...jebus..

Is this better lol. Don't forget I drive this thing 40 min. each way to work everyday 5 days a week, 160,000 miles on the motor and it has rained here everyday for the last 3 weeks :) That is my excuse.

Hey ^ I drive my car rain or shine and my engine never looks that bad. lol

I haven't touched my car in a while, outside got pretty hammered, gotta clean it soon.

How many miles a day do you drive?

Once class starts it'll be around 15-20
