    Tacomarotto thanks for the awesome wright up. I have been reading your write up so much that when I finally pulled the trigger I knew all the steps by heart. Definitely not for people without patience but worth the time and work that went into this project. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks,
    I have this closer shot just before I installed it. I sanded the chrome and color matched it, I also did the optional triangles and they definitely make a difference. Got the mesh from grillcraft and painted it satin black.

    I did cut the top two supports off to help the mesh sit flat on the grille and it still feels solid. You shouldn't have to relocate the horn unless you don't want to see it behind the grille. You're going to need the fiberglass to create a wall around the cutouts and then use the bondo to flatten the surface.

    Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for doing this write up! It helped immensely, especially with all the pics. I deviated a little bit and did the "raptor" style. Here's the final outcome.
