Version 3.0 (current), is a made out of of coroplast/fiberglass and shaped to fit the grille opening a lot better. Then used bondo to fill up the gaps and clean up the edges. It's still attached using L-Brackets/bolts/nuts.




I didn't put enough layers of fiberglass so it is warping on its own, but its been too cold this winter to continue working on it. Hopefully i'll get around to fixing it in the spring time.

As far as mounting points for the L-Brackets, i screwed them into that horizontal bar that runs along the middle of the grille opening.
