to grille or not to grille.....I like my mesh grilles, they let in plenty of air for the dual needswings...and the heavy surround keeps it rigid...I have painted the stock grilles, cut out the slats to make room for more air flow, but just wasn't cutting it...I need to ship it out to Lantana and let him play with it for awhile, just haven't got it done yet...the billets are truely cool lookin' on our cars as well, but I like the air flow of the mesh, and like, John, I have been experimenting with a way to make them look better, but they serve their purpose just fine...Karl done a good job with them...
