Default Check out the new grille

Jut got it done last night. I think I am going to do the bumper cut out holes tomorow.

I am sure you guys remember what the old stock grille looked like, that black honey comb.

Let me know what you guys think!

Looks pretty sweet, what kind of material did you use and how much air is passable through it?

Post a pic once the bumper holes are done.

Airflow speaking, I could care less. LOL. I have invested a grand total of $15.00 in that grille including material for the bumper as well, that will be done tomorow, pics will follow.

I was in Home Depot like 5 months ago just walking around and drooling, and I found these things called Gutter Gaurds. Alluminum mesh that you use to snap on your house gutters to keep the leafs and garbage out. I liked the mesh pattern and for a pack of three only cost 6 dollars. I bought 2 packs and put them in the garage. I was bored so I started to monkey around yesterday and the pic above is what I came up with.

This is a pic of what they are saposed to be used for. I just straightened them out and cut them up, bent them into shape and used a hot glue gun to fasten them down.

Actually if you take a good look at the back side of the grille, that honeycomb isnt bolted in, its actually "stamped" in with metled plastic studs that have to be grinded or cut down to get the honeycomb off.
