    Hey everyone,
    The past couple days ive been working hard on teaching my self how to weld, bend, and figure out a way to make a billet grille. The first one i made i thought was going to work. It came out really complicated and very flimsy. So this morning i began work on a more simpler, stable, stronger grille. This one accually worked, now all i need to make are brackets. This time im taking my time on how to do this and make it neat and clean. Also easy to take off and put back on. How many people have done this with ideas on how to bolt it up? I used 16 gage steel so its pretty light. im thinking its only going to need 4 botls to hold it up but where.. Here are some pics
    What do you guys think? I still have to align and everything, also need a new drivers side blinker but im working with what i got.

    You should get rid of the lights and made it longer thats the only way it will look right IMHO
