    Looks like the missing link between 2nd and 3rd gen grilles. You make the letters yourself? Got any close ups?

    looks great! Id personally probably make the letters slightly smaller and a bit of a darker color, but nicely done

    Nice use of CAD and 3D printers! :thumbsup: never thought of using the printers for grill letters. I'm assuming they are printed in Solid form?
