Re: Need opions on grill... Pewtery2k- That is the grille that I was original looking at... but I dont know what it would go with... my rims are chrome 
if I get polished it would be the only polished piece on my car.
Blue Beast- That set up looks nice
Where did you get the stainless steel mesh from?
Keep the comments coming

Re: Need opions on grille... Yes...but plastic grills are just that...plastic. God knows, the last thing our cars need is MORE cheap *** plastic on them.
Plastic dash, plastic console, plastic speaker panels, plastic trunk cover, plastic t-top holders, plastic radiator covers...."Hey! why don't I spend $200+ on a $15 injection molded plastic grill piece to replace the stock PLASTIC piece.
No thanks...I think I'll stick to my "truck" grill.

Re: Need opions on grill... 
I also added stainless mesh to my SLP SS grille. I measured the mesh size from the front of a Z06 and ordered the mesh from McMaster-Carr. This may be the coolest company in the world!
I epoxied a piece of polyurethane (also from McMaster-Carr) between the openings of the SLP grille. I drilled 2 holes in the polyurethane and attached the mesh with stainless bolts, nylok nuts, and fender washers. I then trimmed the mesh with a cut wheel. Looks great, will never rust!

Re: Need opions on grill... Lawman.....that looks fantastic!!.......I agree that McMaster-Carr is one of the best companys I have ever ordered from......my sheet of steel was $11 shipped to my door and I had it in one day!, fantastic shipping and service for such a small order.....
for everyones benifit, if they want to use the same mesh, what was your part number?....
mine was part number.... 9319 T524 , I assume that yours was a tighter "weave" on the steel by the looks of it?...and what a great way of installation too!....great to see MODs evolve.......any close up pics of the mesh Lawman?

Re: Need opions on grill... Blu,
Thanks!
The McMaster part number is 9319T532 (type 316 S/S woven wire cloth, 6x6 mesh, .035" wire dia, 12x12 sheet, $16.20/ea)
The Polyurethane # is 8631K211 (black poly, 3/4" x 3/4" square, 24" long, 90A durometer, $24.31/ea)
As I said earlier, I tried to get the mesh size as close to that of a Z06. I ordered two sheets, but only needed one to do both openings on the SLP grille. I also ordered more polyurethane than I needed, but the extra has come in handy. It's crazy, I ordered online at 4:30 on a Thursday afternoon, the mesh was on my doorstep Friday! Here's the only close shot I have of the mesh:
Hope this helps!
