    I finally finished it! Was a fun project in my off time and love the look. I wish i could have gotten the black a little closer to factory but oh well. I started with a grille from Parts Geek and mesh from custom car grilles and a badge from ebay.

    Nice work, how long did it take? Which mesh did you get from custom car grilles? IMO I'd dump the deflector...

    Bringing back a somewhat dead thread but wanted to know how did you attach the front painted grille surround to the rest of it (attaching the rivets)? I have a loctite plastic epoxy but I was wondering if that will be enough...

    I used automotive goop. I just put it on the inner piece then zip ties them together and put a dab of glue on each tab.
