Winter Grill (and rims . . again)

Ok so i decided Im going to change some parts during the winter months. My evo grill is getting too messed up with ice and rocks, and the 17's have summer tires on them. So next winter it will be the freshly powder coated rims with some good snow tires, this new grill, and the front lip being removed. Tell me what ya think.

Yup its "gutter mesh" however I didnt leave it raw. Its been prepped and painted with gunmetal rim paint. Looks alot cleaner then just the raw aluminum mesh.

And crypto damnit stop showing me pictures of that grill, everytime you do i want to buy it more and my wife is gonna kill me!

You done a real good job on that grill. I had the same thing but without the black inserts. Yours looks better.

nope, the mesh is standard aluminum mesh you can get at any homedepot, cost ya about 7$ for enough to do 6 grills I cut it and shaped it by hand to fit the inserts for the grill, then i used some small screws you cant see to secure it so it wont rattle. Then it was prep and paint in a metalic gunmetal rim paint. Then installed into the frame that i prepped and painted. Last step is to reattached the chrome star and youre done Im going to be working on another version next week. any requests on what people want to see ?

Ok so now Im getting more of these grills then I need. Thinking of playing with a few designs then selling them off for a very reasonable price. Is there anything design-wise that anyone wants to see ?
