Any one out there have experience with making a mesh grill, similar to the 4th gen guys are now making/selling? I talked to Kaleb a while back but he was very busy with car, job, and school. I know people say they arn't that hard to make. Any one making them? How much for one for my 93 SE? I like the look but lack the time to mess with one.

Dan...

i posted this on the other bbs, not sure if you saw it. but like i said, you could make your own, i have directions on my website. that way you could ensure a good job. frankly, most of the grilles that i've seen (minus a few) look like pure crap. so, if you have one made make sure the person can actually do a good job. here's mine (minus the gtr badge since i recently took it off):

when you redo it, put the mesh in from the back, it looks much better, and you dont have to worry about "shaping" it. it also looks better a little bit recessed. also, get real thick mesh. not the thin wirey stuff that comes in rolls, the stuff i got came in big squares. it's a PITA to cut, but it looks sooo much better. and i also painted my mesh body color, which i think looks sweet.

james, i like that new sig pic! i think i'm going to get an "in motion" pic too buddy!! oh yeah, you definetaly should get thicker mesh for the grill, not that chicken wire ****. i personally like the flush look when you shape the grill and insert it from the front, like i did, so there!!

i had mine flush like that for a while, not sure if any of you guys remember it. but it was that thin stuff and it got bent up all the time. and this new thick stuff i got physically wont bend enough to make it flush. lol. yours is one of the few i like bucktown.

i've seen that car before. i think it was on some website, it was that max, and another third gen. i remember cuz they had a bunch of wrong specs, like hp and engine specs. looks pretty good though.
