    I like the new location for the horns. I have a black grillcraft coming this week. How is the temp sensor working out in the new location?

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    Works fine where its at. I've never noticed the temp readout to be more than a few degrees off of true.

    Newbie question. Is the temp sensor for the engine temp or weather temp?

    Great write up btw.

    Home Depot and Lowes has them. I believe that Home Depot only has packs of 100 so go to Lowes to spend less. They are just zip tie attachemts that are stuck on with the double sided tape. I had to reinforce this with some epoxy because a few were comming loose. Works great now though and you cant tell it is attached with zip ties at all.

    That looks great. Great job. Did you have enough of the material for the bottom grille too by ordering the 12x48 sheet or did you also have to order the 6x36 sheet from customcargrilles? I guess I could measure my grille and guesstimate, but I thought I'd ask someone who's done it who will know for sure. Thanks in advance.

    You can order the top grill as a satoshi so it will already be pre-cut. http://www.customcargrills.com/products.asp?cat=67. Look at the link. Ask for the perforated SS. All you need to order is the 12X48 (I think). Sometimes you might get lucky and check the sprap on the right side of the web site

    THANKS. Make sure to be sand sand sand. I stopped early and you cant see it in the pick but there are some spots i missed. I thought the paint would cover it.

    May redo in the future.
