Default Custom Grille

since i am broke i decided to spend my day making the poor mans custom grille. went to home depot and got a lot of stuff:

honeycomb mesh
sandpaper
goop glue
mounting tape

the hard part about this is getting the mesh to stick to the chrome trim as well as the chrome piece sticking to the hood insert. i hope this works, going to get imola paint tommorow to apply to chrome. anyone have ideas for getting the chrome to stick to hood?

will post pics when done

you should have cut the black housing and mounted the mesh to that.

Default yes. If you're really carefull you can just sand down the black plastic when you're done and repaint

it so that you can't see the parts where you dremeled off the plastic inserts.
