Made my own grille.

Well , got tired of waiting for ActiveTunings grille, so I decided to hack away at my old stock grille. I removed the teeth and installed a black powder coated mesh along with my SE letters. I know it looks like a Sarona but it didn't cost me 200.00. Ley me know what you think. As soon as it is done drying I will mount it on the car.

Wow, looks like that took a bit of work. My only concern would be the color of the paint and how well it matched - I guess we'll have to wait until it dries.

BTW, what are you going to do with your old grill?

Where did you get the mesh and what is it called? It would look good on Onyx. How did you attach it to the frame? Pics?

Each of the colors of our cars has a different code so I would say he used his color code for the correct match.

What's up with all the 6th gen peeps and their grilles? J/K, looks really nice. Way better than that revolting stock "dentures" grill.
