Great idea . I think that it will definately look a lot better if you put some knid of black surface behind the mesh so that the internals are not showing through. They seem to catch the eye more than the actual custom grill section. Anyway, I like it. Its not the normal, "look I painted it" grill. Nice Job

 

Definitely a nice concept.. But you might want to use less flimsy material.. it looks inconsistent and wavy.. The material most of those "custom grille" companies use is available in bulk from those companies, or you can go up to Home Depot and get a heavier aluminum mesh.. I actually had another idea.. Aluminum strips stacked with shims screwed together.. Kinda the billet grille look.. Not sure but I think that is what a stock grille looks like.. Hehe.. I made one of those for a malibu.. Took aluminum slats, and aluminum "tube".. painted the rod black, cut it into 1/2" pieces with a long threaded rod, and stacked the whole thing together.. then mounted it into the stock grille shell.

 

i was going to do the exact same thing malibu.... i saw soemthing like it on a GMC Envoy.... looks mad tight.

and i like your grill too, but i would say go with a different mesh.. the all chrome look is pimp.

 

i put another layer of mesh behind mines...wit a bit different pattern but i blacked it out so he cant really see the inside...but nice work

 

maybe if it was black it'd look hella freakin tight and shiz. but if you like chrome, then for you.

 

yeah, thats a great idea, id def. pick up some thicker material though. Looks good though.

 

I think its a great idea, ive been wanting to do that for a while but i havent had them time, where the black plastic horizontal bars easy to remove b/c that is what im gonna do too, i just gotta find the right mesh.

 

Yeah the black plastic is just 6 screws for each piece, 12 total. Need a philips screwdriver to remove em. And for those of you who don't like it and just said, don't like it, you suck!!! For those who don't like it and said why and what might look better, you rock. Thanks to all the feedback everyone!

 

jus unscrew the screws on the back of the grille and the plastic pops rite out

 

...definitely black it out....
....

 

I've repainted my grill so many times because of winter that i'm going to get an aftermarket replcacement grill .

 

dig it, but tes one layer, maybe a little darker color and black or red mitsu emblem

 

ehh...its a good idea, just not feelin the work...i duno, i guess im iffy on this one

 

i think it looks pretty good, but im with the 1 layer instead of 2 idea.

ps. how did u get the mesh to stay on the grill like that. Im working on a custom grill right now and cant figure that part out.

thanks.

 

I was wondering where part of my fence went, I guess now I know....
