Never a repop grill again (evil little birds)

So I humming down the highway 4 inches off of the ground when I see a little bitty wren (bird) take a dive towards the grill of the truck and hear a "boink"... ah jeez, probably stuck in the recess of the grill.

Get to my next stop and what do I see? A huge dent in the divider section of the grill... this was a little bird!!! And it probably flew away laughing...

Needless to say, I placed a temporary carbon fiber cover over the grill section (truck has lots of carbon fiber stuff) until I can afford a OEM grill.

---- AS A TECH TIP - If you ever want to remove the black paint applied to one of the repop grills (the cheap paint that starts wearing away by the third bucket washing)- decal and gasket remover works great without harming the cheap metal...
