OK everyone, I am looking for ideas for a custom grill on my 700.
Options I am considering are:
- 1/4" stainless steel tubes running horizontal, vertical or diagonal
- 1/8" x 1" aluminum on the flat (like Venetian blinds)
- wire mesh ( but does it look like every other ricer in town?)

I am looking for ideas and suggestions, so let's hear some :idea:

The aluminum tubes make me think of tube grilles for trucks. I like the wire mesh myself, but painted black.

you can't really go wrong with mesh painted black. I'm doing a custom grille and headlight set up for the corona out of thin mild steel and mesh, all primered then black. (mild steel = teh rust0r!)

The grill is finished. Decided on a different style, one that was recently discussed on T'Bricks.

Chrome frame with egg crate, painted and a "non-standard" emblem (thanks Raz)
