As for me following this thread, some of the coolest things I've ever seen on cars/trucks were engineered and made at home, like this Grille. I intend to make one also and give credit where credit is due, this is one of the coolest grille builds I've seen and I can't wait to see it on your truck Breeze.

I plan on it. Did you cut the letters out of the rubber on the grille? It looks like you did

i just saw this thread and i think that the grill is comming out great, looks like the raptor. A while back I used to have an old merc and I also made a grill for it, I kept it on for about a year, but the only problem I had was that it was always annoying to try and open the hood. How have you guys made it around opening the hoods, did you relocate the latch or is there another way to go about it?

I used really thin mesh for my grill, which didnt look that good, so i wound up buying another sheet of black mesh that i put behind the mesh and it really made it look better

here are some pics of my old car
