      Nice. I tried that and then fill the cut out part with some fiberglass bondo and sand it down but it's a huge pain in the ass. Once I can manage to do that, I'll fit a mesh and glue to it the Accord emblem or Honda. Not sure yet. Just another summer time project.

            It's gonna sag cuz all of the supports were removed. You will have to figure out a way to strengthen it on the top to prevent it from sagging.

              Someone commented in my MR thread that my grille would look better w/o the \H/ in my grille....

              The main reason why i didnt do it is because the grille would get 'droopy' where the \H/ used to be...

              Example...

                but the one pictureed in on my ride is a cheap ebay grille with a plastic mesh - so i was just thinking being that the plastic is alot stiffer on the OEM do to the plastic chrome trim that it wouldnt sag

                  that would make sense... I'll pick up a 9091 grille next and take out the \H/ and see how it looks. I originally wanted to color match the grille, but i couldn't find 'reasonably' price matching spray paint.

                    Yeah I agree. OEM is stronger! I'm going to DIY my OEM grille with gutter guard since it's metal...it's stronger than plastic!
