I found it here : http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/KAM44209.htm

 

It is enough material to do two grills. I wanted mine thicker so I used two pieces back to back. I will post a better pic. Oh and Scoobydoobie : Considering the cost of the honeycomb material and the high probability of losing a finger with the Dremel : I could make you one for right around $300!!!

I have an unusual request. Is there anyone in the MD, DE area who has a can(s) of black and/or gold glossifier Plastidip? Just need to cover a badge on my trunk. Hard to purchase two cans just to spray couple ounces of it and probably never use it again. This is my Plastidip grille btw. Nothig special:

Now I have a some OBP that I was going to spray the surround with but the flat black is kinda growing on me or maybe I should color match it to the wheels what do you guys think?

Looks awesome. What did you use for the grill material?

I work as a fleet maintenance tech at a local nursery so a lot of what I have to work with is what’s in the scrap heap out back. I originally was going to use a honeycomb grill insert out of a 93 dodge ram but it was to small and would require splicing aka was going to look like ass. A week later my saving grace came into the shop as a 09 caravan with a front end collision. here’s a link to the part I cannibalized for my grill http://www.car-stuff.com/2010dodgegrandcaravanbumperabsorber.htm

Hoping someone can help. I'm at lowes and the gutter guard stainless steel mesh looks way too small to work as a grill :(. What do I use?

 

I used lath mesh from Home Depot. It's used for tiling or plastering. It's inexpensive and pretty easy to work with.

I'm not sure what lath mesh is but I will ask at lowes. I have a walmart and a lowes near me. I don't even know where home depot might be around here haha.
