    This mod is turning out really well! I was on the fence about it at first but it's really starting to grow on me!!

                  enjoy

                  lol i never thought about sutherlands. theres one near where i live. next time i need some more of theat mesh ill know where to get it then since theres no ace for almost an hour.
                  oh yeah that looks good. i had wanted to do mine like that for a while but i dont know the first thing about working with fiberglass and bondo so i just put the mesh in

                    When it comes to fiber glassing its all in how you mix the hardener with the resin. In some applications you really don't even need to use the cloth at all. I have done allot of cracked plastic bumpers with just resin. Fill the crack, dry, then sand smooth. Fiber glassing is one of my favorite things to do.

                    Btw, grille looks awesome. Im thinking about doing a billet grille mod on the early style grilles.

                      i agree with 91_festy_gl, it gets real easy after a couple times of doing it, the only hard part of the whole fiberglassing was trying to figure out how to get the contours of the center, after that was figured it was a breeze

                      thanks again to the comments, they are much appriciated

                          **** it! I wanted to do this SO bad, and now I won't be the first. I photoshopped it a few weeks back and saw how epic it would look. D:

                          Good job, though.

                              Nice mod! I dont like the 90-93 grills usually, but I like what you did with that.

                              I wonder what it would look like with the "oval" emblem hole fiberglassed and smoothed in? Hmmm....IMO that would look really tough.
