I found some unusual aluminum expanded metal and used a wood male die and the surround itself to form it into a 3D shape. The insert will most likely be painted or powder coated black.





To be honest, I'm not completely sure I like this setup.
Here's a pic of a Sebring with no grille surround. Keep in mind mine will most likely be a darker shade of red. I would probably still do a black mesh insert just to protect the radiator from rocks. I'm kind of using the Healey Works rally cars as inspiration on this build and I think this look fits with the race theme. Definitely looks more aggressive.

I am of the opinion that your work that is pictured is almost perfection! I wouldn't change a thing. But that's just me right?!?!
