Custom front grill

I fUBRed my plastic grill last weekend when I was trying to wrestle it out from behind the ARB front bumper on my 95Runner. I would like to replace it with a custom fabed grill maybe a metal mesh one and I am wondering if anyone has experience with doing this? Pics would be really helpfull. Know anyone in the Seattle area who dose metal fab of this sort? I am looking for somthing that will look good, not a hack job.

Thanks

Thanks for the links! The Argent OE Grille Shell on the first link looks good. Do you or anyone else have experience with this grille that you could share? The second link that I think is for a Billet Grille did not work for me. Can you or someone else lead me to a sight that sells them? Anyone have experience with the Billet Grill?

Thanks all.
Great help, as usual.

IT'S FIRDAY!!!! !!!!! !!!!!:alien: !!!!!!! !!!!!

I made this one last week out of some scrap metal I saw by a dumpster


Cost was free for project, and was done in a week, over thanksgiving break among other things. I am going to make it fully flush and take the plastic off the grille evetually , but no time right now and I just picked up 6 pieces of hollow square aluminum tubing, for freeas well. so I am going to see if I cant make something happen to support that steel grille.

oh you said " and look good." hahaha I guess mine is definitely a hack job. But it suits my need, and it was fun making so I guess that is why I like self mods, just for the thrill of tinkering with yotas
