Injection molded plastic grill and chopped fiberglass header panel. Sometimes things that look good at the car show are not practical on the street ( real world things can happen, like hitting something)

Good thing I still have a stock header panel and grill haha

That is going to look cool!

I love mods like this, you know something is different but you are not sure what it is.

Keep the pics coming.

I'm really excited about it so far. I still need to work out how to incorporate the hexagon mesh. The stock grill insert leaves about a 1" gap between it and the header panel, and I want to close that up as much as possible.

Ok, finally made some progress on this. I included a stock header panel so you can see how much is cut out. Still mimics the stock appearance, just less extreme. Still a long way to go.

 @Cbridgewater Did you finish this change to the grille?

Header panel is done, still working out how to do the grill. I'm thinking of using the original and sectioning a piece in the set the grill back further into the header panel.
