Hey so I finished up my mesh grille and painted it metallic silver, I think it looks good i just like my billet grille better. So if youre interested its up for grabs for $55 obo.

 

Nice Grille, looks a lot like the honeycomb ones from 04-08

How do you open the hood latch?

 

probably with a screwdriver. but you can fab up something that would stick over the top of the grille.

 

Running a cable from the latch to a lever behind the bumper "or any other location other than in front of the grille" would look "cleaner" and also serve as a deterrent for a thief too lazy to follow where the cable goes, should someone want to open your hood. I personally don't care for most modded grilles but yours in an exception.

If you already have an aftermarket alarm, wiring up a solenoid to a momentary output would make popping your hood a breeze. Then the manual lever will be there in case your battery runs down, as a backup.

 

Screwdriver works fine

 

Look at it this way. You will always have a flat-head screwdriver in hand, the most universal tool in the world, every time you pop the hood. You sir are prepared for anything, I bet bad weather changes course when it sees you coming.

 

Where are ya from, I'm interested. Does it come with the lights?

 

Im near cleveland. Make me an offer, the lights are mounted to my header panel and arent included.

 

I'm working on a custom grill for mine...where did you get the mesh and whats it called?

 

I Got it at lowes and idk what its called. I have a ton left
