go to a hardware store but i wouldn't recommend it. It dosnt get the same shape as when you buy it plus it is alot harder than it looks to get it in. Grill Craft will have a cool mesh grill out for us in like a month. They are using my car as the demo car to fit it onto so i will get it for free :) but yea just wait for them

Speed-
Is that grill going to be for the top or bottom or both.
I used Ractive's aluminum mesh to cut out for the bottom, and was going to do the same for the top.
It looks good, but nothing beats a professional job.
If you want to buy just the mesh, do a search on ebay for "mesh grill"

Great news Speedracer!

Any idea on pricing? don't you hold out on pictures now ya hear! Since you're the project car, maybe you could talk them in to some sort of group-buy discount.

well theyhavn't put it on my car yet and im not sure how much it is going to retail for but when they actually put it on my car i will ask them and see what they say about a group buy for sure. I dont have a digi cam otherwise i would have put pics of my car on the site already :(

Here's a pic of my car with the lower grill done. I bought the sheet from a local speed shop, and made a template myself.
I was going to do the top, but I want to wait to see what the Grill Craft Kit looks like.

I used mechanic's lock-wire at two spots right beside the factory foglight areas. I'm going to use another type of rust resistant wire later on. I've seen it done with clear Zip-ties as well, but I think the wire is less noticable.
