Re: Mesh Grille?

I think if you painted or cromed it it would look o.k.

Re: Mesh Grille?

ditch the chevy emblem, and I think it would be pretty neat, and very unique.

Re: Mesh Grille?

So i measured the grill section that i want to take out, and its a little under 51 inches long and 4 inches wide. The problem is the only mesh sheeting (automotive style) that i can find is 48" long or shorter. Anyone happen to know where i could get longer sheets? Thanks.....

Re: Mesh Grille?

Looks too much like a Yuckon.

I guess if you gonna bling it out with oversize wheels and flop it on its belly, it would work. IMHO
