Good to know. I’ve made some grill plates for my civic just now, but I’m waiting for the paint to dry and I need to find some decent screws and a couple long bolts. I’m relocating my front license plate (required in Virginia) to serve as part of the grill block off plate. Will post pics tomorrow when everything is installed. I used some thick plastic siding or molding or something that I found.
