    Nice job looks great. Maybe I should try to
    Make my own too. How hard was it to do?
    Looks pretty flat did you have to bend the material or
    Did you leave it flat?

    Thanks. Not that hard. Took me about 1 week to finish. The grille mesh is flat attached with zipties, nuts and bolts.

    Here is mine in the chrome surround I am still painting the spare chrome surround with Duplicolor Shadow Chrome to see how it turns outs. If its decent I will change it out

    I used a dremel to cut out the old grill I have not painted the radiator or the rest of the non black bits behind it yet. I had to get to work, Total time from start to finish was about 2 hours

    I'm sorry guys... :pout:

    If I was doing this full time it would be a different story and I'd have a product for you already.

    Right now I'm looking at a DIY mesh option for the 12 & up grill.

    Something much more cost effective that what these other vendors are trying to charge...

    It will happen. I just can't tell you exactly when. :(

    My sincere apologies.

    That came out really nice! Flushmount looks so friggin good. I was thinking about ordering the pre-cut mesh from customcargrills.com. I talked with one of their reps and they've fine tuned the pattern based off of the grilles that Blackhawke88 has been making for the 2005-10's. I just don't have the budget to buy one complete.

    No reason to apologize I would have loved to be rocking one of yours but it was not available. I always prefer to support small mom and pop shops but if its not available its not available.

    You make a hell of a product just keep doing what your doing! when you get around to it I am sure that I will toss some cash your way.

    It turned out better then I thought, I ordered it through truck alterations a vendor here on TW and got a good price on it

    Now to get my welder and grinder out to start working on my kayak rack.
