No, I do not. For a reason, It looks like crap! LOL, It is very hard to get the mesh down right. It takes alot of two-sided tape. You can't tell from the front...but the back is a mess! Todd (Uma)

I understand, I'm working on one for myself and I'm just not sure how the mesh gets attached to the center bar. I've heard glueing a piece of wood to the back and screwing the mesh to that. What do you think, What did you do...your the expert!!!. Yours just turn out fantastic.

Looks SO professional, Todd. Who cares what the underside looks like, except the guy who is doing his own, of course, but the topside looks so good. This is the grill I have liked best all this time, but I still think my "cattle catcher" looks the best on Mitzi.

Ah Lauren, those are made, not bought...not easy to do apparently as it involves cutting your current grill very carefully. I know I'd like one too, but shiny.

Can't wait to see it, Todd.
(I'll fix what I sent you when I get home.)

I probably will not bring the grille, it looks good from 5 feet, once you start picking it apart from up close it has issues, lol. Todd (Uma)
