Well, getting my stock grille scrapped from a front collision with a deer ive decided instead of buying a new one, to try and fabricate a new one with a built in grille block.
So today i set about carving out a prototype from a styrofoam block. It wasnt as easy as i thought it would be, but in the end it looks okay. Ill be running with this setup for a while (at least a week). Hopefully it will survive and if it does ill add a layer of fiberglass resin to strenghten and to try and improve the fitment against the hood. Then add some paint to make it "stand out" less.
The "crashed" front
Tools required
Final fitment, tied together with the hood using some string.
