how would you do your grille?

for the cleanest, most professional look, how would you install a custom grille for your car. keep in mind, there are no pre made grilles for my car available, so i am trying to get something that will look very, very clean. i dont want anything that looks bent or rusted, and any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks all for your input

i need to grille and/or mesh all these holes!

custom fab a plastic honeycomb?

where could i get one

use gutter material

just use gutter material

home depot.

but that isn't necessarily the "cleanest"

i guess the real question is do you want metal or plastic, and go from there.

plastic... now where to go? home depot and lowes has very flimsy plastic, and it look permanently curved when installed after a bit of driving

actually...

this is something i was considering...get a grille from say a crown vic and trim it down to fit. that's the sturdy stuff anyway...

I was considering a TRD matrix grille but its too expensive.

yea, i was considering buying a grille for a matrix or 03 corolla and trimming it to fit front opening. but, again, that is very expensive for no reason.
i am still looking, i think i might be able to find some one who'll make custom grilles

if you do, post a link. i'd like to check out prices if i can't make another grille(read junkyard salvage) work.

bro just get some nice gutter material, paint it black and liquid nail it on, trust me u cant go wrong, i think that will look clean, i love my grills, black!

prodigy - is that the stock front bumper? if so - why does your car look so much nicer than mine?

If getting a matrix grill is too expensive, you can buy honeycomb composite sheets from Mcmaster:

1/4" should be thick enough? Might have to buy a full 2ft though (Make two grills, then sell one.. or honeycomb mesh something else).

They also sell aluminum diamond plate that make pretty cool industructable floor mats if you know what you're doing (just have to trace stock floormat and create a bend in the right place)

that was me but i was logged on my gf's account

I think this is all on Vamp's site, but....

Use lath(e), it's a metal mesh, sold in the masonry section of home depot. I got a 6 foot strip about 6 inches wide for exactly $.75 It was kind of a bitch to cut, I actually got some nasty blisters from it. And I scratched some of my paint trying to wedge it in. Oh yeah, that stuff is very very sharp, watch your hands.

One year later, still no rust, looks as good as day one. When I had my car accident, the body shop was nice enough to salvage the mesh and even re-install it for me!!!

GOD DAMN thats a nice looking car........ very nice!

got more pics?
