Default "The Ghetto Grill"... Yay or Nay??

Here's my new project, I like to call it the "ghetto grill".

Picked up the aluminum mesh (and it comes in black already too, there's also red, yellow, etc) from a local shop for $35. Not the nice looking civic on the front.

I like the monster opening on the front. The holes will be patched obviosuly if I decide this is good over the JE Design grill.

Let me know what you think. (and no comments on how high my car is and that I need to lower it!)

I like that. What/where on the mesh? Is there another mesh behind the first?

My only problem with it is all the visible structure behind it. Finer Mesh?

Default looks like his mesh is finer.... also

I think in my case it would be necessary to paint the stuff behind (AC Condensor and radiator) black to make it not noticeable. Sorry for the bad pic, but you can't see it THAT well in real life, it was mostly the lighting and a crappy camera.

Looks good! But isn't mounting foglights in front of the FMIC bad?

Default Yeah, or a fine mesh (screen?) 1/2 inch behind the outer mesh. But i like the opening>>

Would be hard clean though.
