Ah yes, you know who you are. You have a bolt-over grille right now and you are not digging that old grille showing through. Believe me, I went for months with it like that and just kind of brushed it off. But I finally got sick of it and decided I wanted a cut-out ..without buying a whole new grille that is.
This is what I did:
1. Got a dremel cutter
2. Marked the original pieces of "honeycomb" that my bolts were attached to
3. Went ape shit with the dremel, however making sure to avoid cutting out my marked pieces.
4. Sanded the edges a little bit
5. Attached my grille and realized my brushed aluminum bowtie fell off, guess I am rolling with gold for a little while :mc:
The finished project:
As you can see, I only left the honeycombs needed to mount the grille
I still have a little bit of sanding to do, but it can wait :shrug:
...lol I don't know about keeping that bow tie for long though !
