I picked up a used grille from a forum member and started to modify it.
I wanted to match the center spine of the car.
It's just in primer and needs some more fitting but I think it is a good start.

That is really cool! Im still debating whether or not to get the mesh grill, but we get A LOT of rain over here in the uk and it will mess up the k&N air filters. Blody rain haha.

 

I have a single needswings on it. I am waiting on the parts to convert it to dual with the extreme filters.
I may make a rain deflector for the filters. I'm going to do some experimenting when it rains to see how wet they get.

good start

 

you can get covers that go right on the filters

 

Looks good!

 

both my cars have the needswings dual cai and I drive them both in the rain.....not often but they take the rain just fine...no covers needs

 

Grille looks good and a little different than the others. I like it!

Just finished painting it.
Looking good.

 

What about putting a SRT logo on there?

Nice job! I would try a photoshop job to car paint color. The contrasting colors with the mess strikes a nerve somewhere. Does anyone have experience with a photo-shop like program to match the car paint color, seems to me that would look sweeter but what do I know... Not complaining, just an observation!

 

Ha. The mesh started out black and I spent time striping it off.
I thought about doing the frame gloss and the mesh satin but I like the contrast.
That's the beauty if paint. I can change it anytime I want.

 

Cool idea but it kinda looks like a Pontiac now..

 

Haha. I was thinking the same thing when I was welding the center spine in. I tried different shapes so it would look less Pontiacish but this shape looked best with the center spine as the top is the same width as where it ends on the hood.
Making it thinner looked way out of place.
I was hoping once it was body color it would not be reminiscent of a Pontiac.
I guess everything has to look like something. Lol
