Looks really nice, great license plate too!

I'm needing to do that mod, just have to decide what color I want to goto

What if you painted/coated the grill black? I think that would look nice and blend in better, too.

I painted my mesh a grey-ish color. Can't really see it but i like the contrast I've seen people on here do, Red jeep black mesh. Etc

Great job, Great write up

I always hear about people doing this with zip tie blocks. How do you do it this way? How do you attach it to the mesh?

I'm getting around to finding the right mesh material, what epoxy are folks having goof luck with?

There are lots of write ups about this. Just search "Grille" or or the incorrect spelling "Grill" Mod.
