how much does a new grill cost? and i think i might be able to wedge a piece of gutter guard in between the silver strip on the front of it and the triangle piece. but im not totally sure if that would work.

new grills about $60 or so. my first idea was to cut out teh diamonds in the stock grill and put gutter guard in its place. worked fine but then i got sick of it. so then i did the grill i have now. let me see if i have any pics of my old grill.

how much the grill that you bought. I dont really wont to spend alot of money but i will if i have no other choice. also do u think its possible to take off the trim on the front of the grill and put a peice of mesh between that and the grill with out having to cut the back pert out. i kno the trim comes off but idk if u can fit the gutter guard inbetween it and the triangle part on the grill.

i just used my grill and drove grill less. once i started cutting their was no turning back. all the chrome pieces that r on the grill u could take off. their are screws in that back that r holding it. the first pic that i posted of the back grill i but mesh grill behind their but i cant find any pics of it.

rajca that grill looks clean, sounds like a lotta hacking, sanding, bondo, more sanding. The paint on the grill looks a little darker than the rest of the car, but still looks pretty sweet
