Default Painted the grill Pony

I had been wanting to black out the pony in the grill for a while to give the front end a different look, and finally got around to it this weekend. Also added something to stand out in a crowd.

This is a quick easy appearance Mod. Took about 20 minutes to complete, mostly to tape off the hood, grill and front bumper to avoid getting overspray. Sanded the pony to allow the paint to adhere, wiped it off with acitone and used ultra flat black spray paint to match the color of the factory grill. The bb is attache with a dab of superglue. I figured giving the running pony a ******** would stand out at car shows. The funny thing is, you cant see it until you get close to the car.

Looks good. You should post some pics of the car from further back though.

I like the look. To nitpick though, the "********" should be behind the rear leg. It's currently way to far forward to be a ball.

lol Since the Pony is running the ******** is in sync with the left leg.
