    So my insert GB was almost a total FAIL. I say Almost because I have at least been able to supply at a good price the Mesh to complete the project to a few fellow members...
    My latest endeavor is this. A Satoshi-Like Mesh insert that uses the same contour as the stock grille.
    [​IMG]
    The idea here is to be able to eliminate the time consuming Bondo/Fiberglass process for the typical Satoshi Mod...
    Here is a close up of the different size mesh I used as compared to the "Mesh #1" I have in my for sale thread.
    [​IMG]
    At this point I'm not offering this for sale... Very labor intensive and I would not even know where to start with a price.
    Just looking for feedback from fellow TW members.
    Thanks!:D

    **EDIT**

    Per popular request, here is a shot of this new Mesh fitted in Boyds Busted up surround...
    [​IMG]

    And now painted Black:

    And now all together again.....:D

    And Finally:

    MOUNTED ON THE TRUCK......:D

    I voted pretty cool, because it's a new, unique idea.

    I also voted Meh, OK because I need to see it mocked on the truck in the sunlight.

    I like it. Not my cup of tea though. Could definitely see a market for it though. Looks like your a damn good fabricator. Good luck with it.

    That would look good with a brushed aluminum color surround.

    Just not seeing it. As suggested, you should finish it and put it on the truck.

    I'd definitely be interested as I'd love to have mesh behind the grill. Depends on the price.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Any pics of it installed to see the full view? Right off hand it doesn't sound appealing. +1rep though for the trouble and effort on the grilles!
