DIY: Miata teeth grill!!!
Ever since i got my miata i have wanted some teeth. but after hours and hours of research i couldnt find ANYTHING with pictures to show me how to make home made teeth. So i will be THE FIRST to create a thread on the internet to have pictures and show how to make these teeth. I was reluctant to give out this info because i want to be different and i dont want everyone copying me, so please dont copy my exact teeth!!
Materials and Tools:
-Cardboard
-Pencil
-Tape
-Good pair of tin shears
-Computer/Printer
-Aluminum Gutter cover from home depot...4 in. x 12 ft. Fascia Trim-77106 at The Home Depot
This is what the gutter cover stuff looks like... it is sold by 12ft segmets for like $10 at Home Depot.
First get your cardboard and go out to your car and make a rough draft of what you want your teeth to look like...
Then get on your computer and use shapes (i used triangles) on word to match the size you want your teeth then print them out
Tape the printed shapes on the aluminum and trace the pattern onto the aluminum
Now take your shears and go at it; if the shears are dull it will just bend the aluminum.
This ugly lip is left after cutting...
Whack it with a hammer... and its nice
Now repeat these steps for the bottom and paint them if you feel necessary
You now have a sick and cheap mod that only takes about an hour to do!!!
