Thanks everyone for the support. Any and all suggestions will be taken into consideration, but as of now my goal is to create a mesh grille without a center rib that is at least invisible to the eyes (it may be placed behind for structural support).

DynamicS, thanks for the links. It's ironic that you mention the 300 because today I looked at their grills to see how they are able to make their grills so easily. I've noticed that the Chrysler symbol is integrated into the grill on the 300. On the Crossfire, the Chrysler badge is attached to the hood, which makes for a difficult design problem, but it will be addressed as best as it can. Basically, the badge on the Crossfire sticks out and I feel that if the grill will look good, the mesh should start as close as flush as possible to the point where this piece sticks out.
