That's a Jbling700 custom right there. I'm not sure if he makes them for other members for a fee but I'm pretty sure I saw that lmalatino does (I think)

PS - that's a lowercase 'l' there, not a capital 'I' because at first when I saw it, I thought it said "I'm a Latino" but it's actually Leo Malatino.

Sick, sick rides for those two dudes. Here's a write-up for you, by the way.

Good luck.

Oh, wow. Upon further review it looks like the write-up was deleted by Jbling700 which would lead me to believe that they are for sale.

If you're interested enough to find out what the price is for them to do it, let me know, too, would ya?

That is the only aftermarket/custom grill I would use on my car out of any that I've seen to date for the 7th gen.

+1, interested in a purchase as well. If he wasn't selling them before, he might want to now *wink* .

Does anyone know jbling? He hasn't responded to my message and I'd really like to build one of these grills.

From what I remember, he kept the outer edge of the OEM grill, added the diamond pattern grill in the center, & painted it. He did have a detailed write up over on my7thgen before the delete. I have been thinking of doing this as I think it's the best looking grill that I've seen for our cars.

Well if he ever decided to sell it I know I'd be interested in a buy

Yea, I guess my main questions for him where where he got the wire mesh, and how he went about filling in the "dip" in the frame below the logo.

I thought I had saved the link to the site he bought the mesh from, but I didn't. It's the small diamond cut mesh. I'm going to bite the bullet & get one from the junkyard to play with. I'll try to remember to take pics along the way....this is usually the hardest part for me.

i believe he ordered it from customcargrills.com and he got the 12x48 piece. The diy he had on the 7th gen site is gone, because I have my factory 2010 grill that I would try this on since I have the 2014 sport grill. A diy would be helpful you decide to give it a go

Good info. The grill is very nice bro so i cant wait to see how yours turns out.

I'm still struggling with what the point in taking it down was if you aren't intending to make them and sell to people on the org. Its like hiding your license plate to me. Everyday, thousands of people see it so what difference does it make?

Yeah....don't know why he did that. I read somewhere that it may have been due to someone bumping the thread.....as it was an old thread.

There are one or two people on the 7GM Facebook group that sell it.

Thanks man, for those of us who do not "do" Facebook, can you provide a name and contact number or email? Much appreciated. Just curious to see what they're charging to do this.

I second that! I didn't do social media but would love to get this done. I believe the picture with the slammed blue/green max above is Leo's car. If so, is he the one who has started making these?

I'm thinking he'll make quite a few sales over here.
