Well my first idea was to just lose the bar & smooth off. Don't want to be accused of copying you Merlin :D

Although it was your car car that made me get the Anzo's 8-)

I did something similar on my Accord, although rather than buying a spare I just bit the bullet and did it to the original parts :shock:

Took it from this, with all the horrible black plastic grilles

To this :D

One tool I found really helpful was an Xacto razor saw meant for building models... It ate through the plastic and left a very straight cut. I also used garden shears :P

do the nostrils :D just goes to show how many of us are tight fisted :lol: black i think looks best but thats just my preferance :D also easyer as bbq mesh is mild steel and will rust if not treated,, i see stk,s looks as though its been chromed, doesnt that defeat the object of cheapness, looks good though, the great thing with these bbq meshes is there are loads of different designs of mesh out there :D
