Just looks like mesh. They have it at most auto part stores. I think that looks badass.

Yep just some aluminum mesh. I cut out most of the center then epoxied it in. Hardest part is cutting out the center without breaking the surround.

Went from this(stock 81 grille with the surround painted black).

Thanks! It can't look bad, lol. The main problem I have had with it this time around is the epoxy I used to make this one and one for my Dad's 05 Gran Prix, is turning yellow. I guess I will be trying different brands in the future.
