yes...cutting is no fun...

this is actually the grill TITO made so i didn't have to cut it out in that shape, but cutting the mesh out for my lower grill gave me a few cuts :evil:

and about payment, you got pm! :bday:

Alex,

What was the going rate for that grille any how? Did TITO have you ship your oem grille to him or did he make his own frame?

at the time, TITO had an extra frame laying around and made me the mesh one and then sent it out for $100...worth every penny!

Beautiful, just beautiful! IMO the Gen 1 looks the best with the mesh grill. The pictures are great too. Good Job

nope, the wire's tensile strength is enough to keep its form and still sits flush with the frame...

but perhaps adding a couple of mounting points wouldn't be a bad idea...
