Tried something new...different style of mesh grille

So after having the mesh grille that we've all seen on for a while I decided to take it off for a while and go the bone stock look. Got tired of that too so this was something I cooked up and haven't seen before so I hope you guys like it.

Basically what I did was cut the mesh to fit around the openings in the grille and used some JB Weld to attach each piece.

Overall it's really easy took me about an hour after multiple smoke breaks and half a sixer of beer








I think it looks great I just don't know if I'm feelin the mesh behind the Acura emblem or not yet.
What are your guys' ? Comments and criticisms are more than welcome.

if you are gonna leave it behind the A, I'd make it going the same direction as the rest

thats not a bad and easy idea...i like it and agree with the others saying make the A grill face the right direction...but i wonder how it would look like with an 03 grill where their painted the same color as the car...seems like the chrome makes it pop a little more...i have smr and i dont think it would be seen as much...

I'm going to make the mesh behind the A the same direction and see how it looks.

But ya I just wanted to try something different I'm tired of seeing every CL with the exact same mods running around. Need to make our cars different from each other ya know?

O and sorry about the pics my lady dropped and broke my digital cam on friday night so these were taken w/ my cell camera haha.
