My custom stainless grill


My custom grill
I stumbled upon this idea on the internet. I ordered a sheet of stainless screen, cut out the plastic screening and installed the stainless in it's place. What do you think?

I like the ingenuity but not 100% sold on the look. It doesn't look bad, but I can't decide if I like it or not!
As soon as I saw it I thought It resembles the V series front from Cadillac,

Great job looks great. Are you going to replace the lower portion also?

I actually like shiny metal on our cars, but mostly on black ones.
Steel will not spring like plastic does. Let us know how the mesh resist flying rocks.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not, but I thought the diamond style grill looked pretty good on our cars so I decided to try something different to get the silver/chrome look. I had an extra grill laying around so this is what I ended up with. I just purchased a new lower section grill and am in the process of seeing how I can fit the stainless screen to that. If it works out I will post some pictures.
Thanks for the feedback.
