I thought about fiberglassing the whole thing, and that might have worked had I done it right off the bat. However, its now mashed and disformed from holding it while sanding. So, that is no longer an option for me. The only thing you'd have to be careful with if you did do it that way would be fitment issues. Since the foam expands between the grill's slats, you would need to sand that foam down before putting fiberglass over the top otherwise it might not fit back on well. I'd think it would also probably scratch the paint on the grill slats if you are worried about that.
