My Grille Block with Fabric Cover

A while back I made a thread here asking about using stretchy fabric to cover the bumper. Basically, I wanted something that looked a bit more aesthetically pleasing than just cutting and drilling choroplast to the bumper. Here's how it turned out


Factory front grill


I wasn't sure if the fabric alone would be a good wind deterrent (I figured wind would still pass through it), so I made a grill block from choroplast.


Here's the lycra nylon I cut up


Grill, block and fabric together


All it takes is a simple stretching and wrapping the fabric around the grill clips


Here's how it looks!

What do you guys think? Be honest, if you don't like it that's cool. I like it because it's easy to remove if I need to, and I think it's more aesthetically pleasing than what I could do with choroplast alone. I'm going to do the whole bumper one of these days soon, but this will do for now.
