Trying to get a better grill look

My Grabber blue GT looks great but I'd like the grill to have a big mouth look without doing a grill delete. Basically I'd like to get a grill that has no fangs or emblem but with a mesh or honey comb grill. No billet grills.

look online at most aftermarket vendors. LMR american muscle summit racing etc. most places offer a more open mesh or honeycomb grills. if none of those suit you look in DIY section tons of people have made their own with write ups and what not. there are tons of threads already

look up racemesh grilles; it should be what youre looking for and they seem to be quality. I bought one but their turn around is about 30 days so I havent received it yet

That's what I'm looking for! please post pics when you get yours.

So what I did with mine instead of doing a grill delete I just hallowed out all the honeycomb to give it a really clean look... both upper and lower grille hydro dipped carbon fiber..then I used 3M glossy black vinyl.. really happy with it it gave it a menacing look.

I second this. Matt, the owner, was great to deal with. He actually cut me one of their plastic mesh options to use for mine (The ABS insert I cut myself). Will hopefully install in the coming weeks. I stole the idea from Nathan Brummer's build.

This took some time with a belt sander

If you haven't installed yet, can you take a pic of the back of the grill. Wanting to see how the mesh is attached. Thanks

Also, I'm wondering which size plastic honeycomb mesh that was.

It's the standard plastic diamond. I used the same method as their thick woven wire video: zip ties/mounts and the adhesive

Thanks for the quick response. Wasn't sure if that was the method. Looking to pick up some OEM grills and doing the same. Thanks

Ahh, ok. I had thought it might have been the XXL version. The one you use is the perfect look, IMO.

Yeah I really like it. Need to find a weekend to actually get it on the car. Can't take credit for the idea though, stole it from [MENTION=15102]Nathanbrummer@SCS[/MENTION]
