    This project has taken the better part of 5 months, a "prototype" (that's what I'm calling it because it did not work out) and a little bit of my sanity but here it is. What does everyone think?

    Here is the full "build thread/journal" I did documenting the entire process with pictures. Sorry in advance for the lengthy read :eek:

    Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I would be happy to help you. Thanks again for looking!!

    Curious to know what one might pay for one of these. I know that they are not Homer-built, but I might have a couple local people interested.

    Total:

    ~$300 for the spare grill, emblem, paints and supplies
    ~25-30 hours from start to finish of this grill.

    Ok, that's where I got mine but it's not meant for installing with a lip like you did.

    You added a fiberglass lip, or deep section. Mine is meant to just cut out the inner portion and slap in the grill mesh.

    None as of now.
    How well does it fit with how the headlight housings stick over the back of the grille.
