Default Grille Insert

I was bored the other day so I took to fabricating a grille insert for the pilot. Made it out of some aluminum panels i have had in the basement for a while. What you all think?

Very nice DIY job. It'll keep debris from damaging your radiator/trans cooler. I have the Cloud-Rider Mirror SS Mesh Grille Inserts on my 04.

The most economical way is buy the gutter mesh and zip-tie at Lowe's.

Availability is due to zip code. The gutter mesh looks like the chicken-wire but little stronger.

The one available near me is GardenPlus® 24" x 10' Roll Multi-Purpose Mesh $13.97

It looks "homemade". It also looks like it'll impede air flow.

You asked.

I think it looks great. Idea folks, if you don't like it, don't put it on your car.

But don't put down someone else's mods..........
