    Alright so here's the deal. I've always liked the aluminum grilles that you can get for like over $100 for the car. I happened to stumble across these out in the milkhouse so I figured I would attempt to make a set. I've made the gutter guard grilles back in the day and they were fun for a while but they didn't look like the legit ones at all. These have potential. I will clean them up and try to make them shiney and then maybe clear coat them or something to prevent oxidation. IF you had to pick one which would it be.

    #2 (the thing that worries me about this is that it might not let enough air in to cool the engine. What do you guys think?






    Now I know some of you won't like this idea one bit and would prefer that the grilles be black but I'm going this route because I will be trying a new theme with the car and this fits it. (Not going to reveal any more plans at this point in time)
