I'm in the process now of making one out of plexi that will fit in the openings of the grill. Those vinyl covers look nice, but I really think they are overpriced. Maybe Dave ( parts/service )can work something up for ya. Shoot him a PM

I thought about that but it was too much work. I just made a cardboard template for a piece to go behind the grill and cover the whole thing, then cut it out of black expanded plastic sheeting (basically plastic cardboard). I used about 12 zip ties to secure it to the grill. You cant' even tell it's there unless you get close and see the zip ties.

Awesome idea GFB!!! Now I have to make one once I find the corrugated plastic

I understand that Cabelas might seem funny, but for $45.00 its worth a try.

Just trying to help.
