Looks great! I got a tip for the hole you gotta leave for the hood latch.

To me, it looks like it's a tear or not enough coverage of the mesh in all these gutter mesh grills. I mean I know WHAT it is and why it has to be there, but still kinda takes away from the look. I'd take me a small piece of that chrome door edge guard you pick up at Wally-world or an auto parts store for about $2 and cut to fit as a border. Would go perfectly with the chrome grill.

I just used a couple pieces to "dress up" the light bar I made for my Jeep about a week or so ago and thought it made it pop for the lousy $1.97 I had in it...

You know, I was thinking the same exact thing, plus I put my hand in and cut it already lol. Thanks for the tip.

After I posted, I just came back to the thread and was gonna add that it would also keep you from catching the rough edges when using the hood latch and either yanking it loose, bending it or worse, cutting your hand.
