Got myself this:

My intention is to perform medical experiments on it

No animals will be harmed in said testing, however insects may be inexplicably drawn to it at VTEC velocities

You may just have given me an idea Nitin

My original intention was just to cut the middle out, see how it looked.

Now the hunt is on for a honeycomb grille i can butcher, maybe mount a wee USDM Prelude badge???

I tried that with my old spare grill, faile and threw it in the bin.

I tried to cut the middle, it's easy but where it joins in to the sides that is hard to cut. Then you will have to filler it and smoother out to make it look better.

Don't want to sound bad but go for it, you got the grill so cheap so you've got nothing to loose.

It may be a bit of work but i have a fair bit of spare time these days so a wee project like that will keep me entertained for a while

Take lots of pictures of your progress, that makes it more better when I read it. (lol I only look at the pics when I read projects)

Was looking at the OEM honeycomb grille & i do like it but toying with the idea of something different as well.

Always like to be unique
