yeah ill get some clips or something, i dont have a staple gun
i did get a slab of mesh that was precut and it was the exact size of the stock grill... just to see if i could do it, i shaped the mesh into the shape of the grill and popped it in front where the grill used to be (u know that rice look that i'm talkin about)
its a home made billet grill but out of gutter mesh, haha.
but it was on there for as long as it took to take a pic now i just need to cut that up and cover up the styrofoam

I was going to sell my stock plastic grill on ebay until I read this thread. I looked at the sucker a little closer and realized that the plastic threads on the mounting tabs are all stripped out and fubar. Typical GM design, the correct way to remove something simple takes hours.
