I've been wanting one of these since I first saw one last year, posted a wanted thread months ago with no response.

I'm working on making the grill myself. I just picked up a spare grill and will be working on this project with bigc. Not sure how we are going to do it yet, but we'll consult with some body shops on the materials needed.

but a today i went out and bought some all purpose putty hoping that i could possibly drill holes into both sides and pieces of the grill and insert metal wire in order for the putty to stick to something then let it sit and sand it down as for the bumps i have no idea how i would do those.....i dunno ive been thinking about this for a while but his way with the abs plastic seems like the most reasonable and reliable so i dunno what to do....

i would imagine the easiest way would be to get a donor grill. slice and dice that up to donate to your actual grill.

putty it up, sand it down, make it smooth, and voila. the curvature may not be exact, but close enough that you could model it to work. no point in reinventing the wheel.

+1 that is what most body shops have told me so far. a quick trip to home depot can also yield some stuff to patch the opening with...you can use bondo to get the curvature right from there.
