Mesh Grille modification

Here is the stock grille with it's vertical bars. Also note the splitter struts

The grille in it's stock form

The vertical bars are a pressed aluminum piece helded on by rivets

Here it is removed from the grille housing

Once the bars were out, I used the plasma cutter to zip them all off and use what's left as a surround for the mesh

The mesh was riveted to the grille and bolted back on the car. The bumper isn't installed yet.

I also riveted mesh into the cowl vent
