Looks good!

How did you mount the mesh in there? I've been thinking about that, but haven't felt like removing my grille to look into it.

Thanks. I'll take some better shots soon.

When I was repairing the bumper for paint I took the thick bumper padding off ( don't know what to call it) and cut out where the holes would be. I mounted the grill work in the foam via pressure fitting and heavy glue.

As promised.....

In the pics it kinda looks like its just a tad bit greener than your paint...could it be the lighting?

It may be a bit off but I literally just got it out of the paint shop today so it still may do some changing as it dries. If not, I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks guys. I really love the way the front end looks now.

Gonzo98, Love the way you painted yours. I looked all over tech for painted grilles before I did mine and I never found one that looked like yours. Very nice and unique.
