Little update. In preperation for my comming vacation trip to Wyoming this comming week I'm going over the Matrix to make sure she's ready to go. However, winter took its toll on my good 'ol foam board grill block. The nice satin black finish was totally worn off to a paper like material under it. Needless to say it looked kind of silly on an all black car. So, I took the night to remake the block in coroplast.
The old grill block. Still worked fine. I guess I'm just picky about looks.
The new grill block. Looks strikingly like the original. It has a few minor tweaks and fits slightly better.
