    I stopped by my buddies shop RAD Industries in Santa Ana, California and he's finally designing the 2nd gen grill. Check out the progress. I know he will be doing a batch of these very soon. This one is made from 18ga steel and then powder coating matte black. Good to see a quality USA made product.

    To begin with they will be powder coated matte black with cutouts. I think he will add colored accents on another version down the way.

    @Silverspool I know his RAD logo might be an issue, the placement on the 16-17 model is further out and closer to the bend. It's so small it's not really a concern, but I'll mention it to them.
