Default Home-Made Grille

Has anyone made a grille using parts from Home Depot or Lowe's or anything? I was looking for something fun to do without spending a whole lot of money and I thought a front grille would be a neat project. Let me know. Thanks in advance.

it has been done, but i don't think it looks all that good, if you care for my opinion.

i've seen them done several times.. they have the ability to look good, but generally everyone can tell it's just a tightly meshed chicken wire... trust me, it's not worth it go buy yourself a beer and a lapdance and you'll be more pleased

if you go the route, make sure it's good lookin... dark metal, semi-tight honeycomb cut grill insert might look nice if done right.. but it's money better spent otherwise.. because I'm willing to bet you've not got a whole bunch done yet.

Well the only reason I was considering the grille is for the look. I've heard of it being done on other cars, and looking nice. I was just wondering if anyone had experience. I agree that it's money better spent otherwise, however, if I could have gotten it looking nice, i've heard it costs about $20 versus $50 from grille-tech. I have got other things done to my car however, thanks for the incorrect assumption, but again, on this I was just going for something fun/cheap/for looks. Thanks though.

I have seen only a few billet style grills for the G3 Integras. I think thats the way to go if you want a grill.
