Default Custom Grill Material

Hey Guys,

Wondering if you have any ideas of material I can find for cheap to make a custom looking grill for my truck by unclipping the damaged grill inserts and fab my own pieces to put back in. The rest of the grill can be saved with some JB Weld.

Thanks
Eric

I did the gutter grill material on my grill. I zip tied them over the original plastic grill mesh and then used snips to cut it out. To re-attach I used a rivet gun and aluminum rivets.

Where did you buy the material for it, I cannot seem to find that honeycomb look anywhere around here. All I can find is cheap looking stuff that I think will literally look like it is rigged gutter helmet material

(edit) Ahh, ok, I found it, I looked in your gallery folder "truck" I then thought about it and that the honeycomb grill pic was the oem grill, I then read more of your folder titles and found "Mesh Grill" and like that as well, and saw that in one of the stores I was hunting all over for, now I just gotta remember which one it was in.
