Broken Grill? Build a new one

Post by 13CapriceNC »

The stock grill was cracked, so I removed the internals and kept the frame. Then bought some Grill mesh form Amazon for $14 and built a new grill.

I agree with all that was said above. We need details, this looks good. Good job.

I like this material for the part below the license plate as well and I've often wondered why there weren't more solutions for closing that "hole" to large debris.

The main grill with that material looks awesome. Great job.
