the 04-06 have some horrid stock grilles, but I prefer them over what you've done here...

I have to agree about the hump not flowing with the car. That aside, you did a awesome job on the actual build of the grill. Just a first time design, always room for change. Keep up the good work.

It's not that bad.

But it could be a little better. I like the choice of the mesh grille.

You did great work and it came out nice but I can't get over the bottom lip of the grill. You could always chop that off and rebondo it I suppose to look more like the AT grill.

I honestly feel bad for this guy...past 15 posts have all been negative about the bump...props bro on the custom work, i would have the *****/time to do custom work myself but like everyone else said, the bump is a little weird looking.

I think it would look good if the bottom part was a straight line across the top...shaving the top of the hump, but still leaving the bottom thicker than the sides and top....then maybe adding a bar to the middle like 97-99 max

Kinda like drax89 said: I think it would look much better if you trimmed the top of the bump flat, so the entire opening is parallel from left to right. This would make for like a 4" high opening for the mesh, which might look cool. Props for trying something different, though.
