Default Advance the look...

yesturday my friend and i went driving around for fun

he has ZX5 or whatever the letters are Ford Focus
he has a cold air intake, exhaust and i think a few other things
i could have beat him if i didnt miss shift

BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT THAT!


so me him and 2 of our friends went to home depot
we bought the wire/grill thing for your gutter so leaves dont get in it
and made ghetto grills for the cars
hahaha

it was $2 and it looks like an aftermarket grill

i'll put pictures up of it

but i'm just letting everyone know
if you want a grill

don't waste $300
when you can go to home depot and make one for like $2

congrads ! that's how I got my third brake light, went out to home depot and got a sheet of some type of plastic,( stuff that covers ceiling lights and stuff) it was kinda hard to make because the plastic would shatter if you used to much pressure to cut it. mine cost 5 something though better then 29 bucks to buy one.

Are you talking about the gutter guards? Came with like 4 sheets for about three bucks? I did the same thing and I was shocked about how well it came out. A little time, patience, and cutting did the trick.
