Update to grille

Well, I think I `ve completely finished it.
Went back and got another screen for the clips.
This time I used it and cut it to 32.5 inches, angled the bottom corners, put the clips on around 9 inches in from the sides top and bottom.
Cut the holes for the bolt studs, then trial fit it to bend the metal.
Bedliner lined and then wheel paint clear.

Have an old satellite dish mesh laying over the hill, had the kids get me some, measured out and cut a 6-1/2" x 34 " piece of black mesh. 2 nuts with washers, fit into place, cheapest insurance and mod soo far. Best part, looks like it came that way from the factory. BTW, my daughters 2003 Gran Am GT doesn't have a screen in the lower opening of it. May have to fix that for her.

Cj, Where are the bolts every one is talking about? Are they at the bottom or the side? When it gets a little cooler this evening I am going to do mine, but black. Thanks for the Mod idea. Oh! Got mine at Home Depot with the clips.
