That looks pretty fcukin tight. What do you guys think about the silver civics with the alteeza (or something simlar) grill? I think it looks clean but Im looking for opinions.

Yeah I am thinking that I want to do a homemade one too, with the same material. The ones from APC are sooo soft and easy to bend and wreck, thats why I didnt get one yet.

I just totally removed my upper OEM grill and replaced it with my DIY upper grill.... courtesy of.... no one else but home depot baby!!!

upper and lower grill by Home Depot... 5 bucks can't go wrong.

That's VERY nice. Do you have any tips on how and where to cut the mesh and how to fit it behind the grill? I'd appreciate it!
