Hi guys,


Couldn't handle the honeycomb. This is the result!

so the center is completely open? id be a little worried about something getting in and taking out your radiator. put some mesh behind it or something.

Not to worried about things getting stuck in there. It's not as though the original grill was doing much good. unless something the size of a brick fell in its path it was basically useless. I probably will pick up some mesh eventually though. I just can't find any that would work... any ideas?

some people use chicken fencing/wire. looks pretty close to a sport grille when done.
I haven't found a complete resolution (that i'm entirely happy with) for the base grille. I don't really want the sports grille that everyone has/gets.


For the time being, I plasti-dipped the chrome trim around the honey comb. I was thinking of doing something custom with the honeycomb. I have pondered cutting it away... but there is no take backs after that. I do like the result of the one above.
