HCH II new person

Ive been wanting to add the HCHII's belly pans,,, but havent done it yet. I added a DIY engine belly pan mainly because of the huge amount of dirt that ends up under the hood. And I wanted to protect the wonderful casted oilpan/lower bock. Beautiful casting IMO.

As for the grill covers.

I really think they would help the 8th gen Civics alot. Problem is how to make them and not get the ghetto look. I very much like the looks of my car and dont want to mess it up.

The upper one is easy. Cut and break the metal. Remove the chrome bar and the stupid huge ugly H. Lay the grill block in and rebolt and clip the chrome bar back in.

The bottom one will need to be english wheeled and clips/fastners put on the backside and secured to the grill thats there.

I want to leave about a 1/8th" gap around the blocks and finish. The upper would more than likely be painted black. The bottom Im thinking maybe a lazer etch with something like " Civic Hypermiler " and painted black. I have also thought about a decal treatment to the lower one.

I think alum. sheet or light gauge sheet metal would work great. I dont want any corplast on the front of my new Civic at all. No matter what you do to the stuff is still looks tacky IMO.
