Very nice! Did you just take out the stock grille and replace the center with black mesh? If so, please post where you got the mesh!

I kinda like the IS-F zigzag mesh, but this is good too, are you planning without the emblem?

Homemade, I assume? Well done! It might look even better with some some tighter mesh, but I have no idea where to get that kind of stuff.

Looks good man! Thanks for sharing. I hope the grille is thick enough to conceal what's behind it. The only other thing is that the gutter guard is a bit flimsy, so hopefully it holds up!
