Custom Grill??

guys... another question

i found a peice of sheet metal that has several holes in it. it looks like it would make a cool insert between the main horizontal divider of the CL Grill... is there any way to fasten the insert between the grill without being "ghetto" (for lack of a better word). I made custom grills before but i used silicone to keep it in place and it looks cheap... I havent seen this style grill an any car (except a stock AMG ML55) and it looks hot when i place them in there... if anybody has a solution or detailed pics they'd be greatly appriciated

if you use the silicone sparingly and in the right places, it should work well enough without looking bad.

BBS, I really like your custom grill in Pic 1. Use Gutter Guard? How did you install it between the road lamps?
