Wow, that is awesome. As you said maybe a fine black mesh behind to hide the mechanical junk back there. Great job CTD.
I will also say I am loving the HEAVY mesh and not that girly little tiny mesh of rice boys. I want it to look like that expensive Bentley or Jaguar Type R grill. Those grills have a heavy mesh and its looks like you could not break it with a hammer. Looks kinda of a weave. that middle spar is so awesome and follows the line on the hood. Without it, it would look silly.
Again great job CTD, I hope we can have this soon!
