to be similar to the jeep grille maybe? doesn't the wrangler's front stay down when the hood opens? I thought that'd be a neat idea too. How'd you do it?

That looks sick! I'll admit I like the convenience of the grill being out of the way when the hood opens but I like the look of it much better how you have it. Should let you stand out a little at a show
