So, I stopped by the shop to see what was going on. Thy didn't start any fabrication. Yesterday the fabricator did some drawings. Today I made sure there were going to be no ribs or anything to be seen on the mesh, but the fabricator thought I wanted the factory grille with mesh inbetween the ribs in chrome. BIG MISTAKE!!

So, there will definitely be a delay. Sorry everyone.

Basically, the fabricator wants to put some sort of rib as a reinforcement or else if a big bug or chip hits the grille, it's gonna dent, which none of us want.

Looking at a CTS-V, I noticed NO reinforcements and it is made out of PLASTIC. Our grille is going to be made out of stainless steel mesh. Any ideas?

Lastly, the fabricator said he will create some more designs tonight, and if he can make a grille that is structurally sound, we will decide from there if it will be a go or not. Tomorrow I'm stopping by again to check-out these drawings. If not, I'll keep on searching for someone to make this grille!
