Well guys, I hope y'all like it. It took about 100 man hours, a whole lot of epoxy, and some bondo to complete it, but here it is. Let me know what y'all think.

Thanks a lot. I had some fun doing this one. THe only reason I left the chrome on there is because I didn't feel like taking the piece off of the hood to repaint it. Oh well.

Where did you get the egg crate/mesh stuff?

The mesh is out of a Dodge Pick-up grille. Just had to do some creative trimming. And thanks a lot.

04CVVT...thats great man....did it really take near 100 man hours?

If so, it makes me think working on the f'ed up M&S Carart Grill might pay off (though I was only 6 hours into working on it) and it will probably need 100 man hours...hmmm

YOU MAY HAVE INVIGORATED ME TO WORK ON REPLACING MY GRILL...

AND AGAIN...AMAZING JOB

VERY Impressive. Wish I could come up with something like that for an 01!

GREAT WORK!

Wow! Looks very nice. My only suggestion would be to color the area around the mesh black so the mesh doesn't stand out around the edges so much.

Wow! what a difference. That looks a heck of a lot better than all the aftermarket grilles I've seen for sale!

Very cool...good job! Hey, where did you get the honeycomb material to make that? I'd like to give this DIY a go if you don't mind.

Thanks!

Well CornbreadXD, I will start on one if someone wants to donate a factory grille to me to play with. I am sure I can make something look good. As far as selling them, I will, but keep in mind that they take a while to make, and I will need to get the factory grille from the buyer so that I can keep making them. As far as price, well... I am sure that I will get faster at them, so they would probably be somewhere around the 175-200 dollar range depending on paint requests. Of course the body color ones would be in the upper range, and the plain black would be around 125-150. If anyone is interested please PM me. Thanks a lot for the props guys!
