the best way to do it is to make a mold of one of the bumps then cast a few copies out of bondo/resin/glue. honestly though, after making the bumps for mine, they really aren't visible at most angles anyway. either way, best of luck to you man - grill looks great!

no mold - just formed them with layers of epoxy then topped them with a layer of bondo so i could get them smoother. it was certainly not easy nor is it the way i'd recommend others to do it.

PM zackt69 about the bumps - he's making molds to patch the holes and may have some ideas about making molds for the bumps.

i didn't cut out the back of the grill at first, but quickly realized it would make life a lot easier (i should have taken Lawrence's advice). its much easier to sand down the back parts of the patch if the back is gone, plus it will be visible unless you paint it black.

if you paint it IP, definitely cut out the back. paint the back parts black at the very least - i promise you that it will drive you crazy otherwise
