So I installed My Grill

Wow, Does it make this car look MEAN lol Totally widens the front end, I love it. I am going to go with a nice black mesh in behind it She's slowly coming along!! Only thing thats different is that the IROC style grill mounts to on the top and four around that center block, I need to drill four holes into the center block to secure it properlly, but its to darn cold!
(P.s when I install the mesh, Im going to paint those to lower bars that run left to right, you can see them in the picture at the lower part of the grill openings, this way it will hide them 8) )

Mounted the licence plate braket to the new grill, Damn Canadian laws! :

Yup they are great looking grilles, look a lot better then RS style ones in my opinion. I hated having a license plate on the front cause it just kills the look and goes over the bowtie. But now i dont have a license plate even though i should have one(virginia).

I also painted the 2 bars black then cut 2 pieces of mesh and put them in the holes. Turned out great.

Can you show me a close up picture of how mine will turn out? And How did you mount the mesh?
