Default new grille

So today I did the gutter grille for my 02. It turned out okay. I cant put it back on because its raining and i want to give the paint plenty of time to dry. Here are some pics.

Cool, what's that set you back and do they sell it in the color matched (sport trim) versions that would match what I have?

I just checked ebay. I think the bare look like jusjay has would look good on mine. But not sure his DIY would work the same for me since I have a different insert than his has.

it would just take a different approach to mounting it...im sure it wouldn't take much... i eventually painted mine silver as it started to discolor and i also cut all the honeycomb out after it just looked odd in there....04 hemi let me know what you do with that grill if you do this i had honeycomb and it was a cheap quick mod for me....that looked better than crap.....i was looking for a set like yours that someone removed but couldn't find any i was just gonna paint em black anyway....but i dunno what id do at this point but keep me in mind....

Will do. If I can find some mesh inserts fairly inexpensive, I probably won't hassle with making my own because I was wondering about what you did rusting or getting discolored. And I don't want black. Want something that looks roughly like polished aluminum or stainless steel or maybe even chrome, for my truck.
