Ive just picked up a grill too but its a tf , which ive been told is a bstard to mod. But im thinking of doing a tj grill or something different using fibreglass.

WTF is a billet grill
you know how some vents have downward facing horizontal lines... i would suggest something like that... it looks good in my head :)
So say about 2 or 3 horizontal bars, slightly downward facing...
Youre a trend man, goodluck with it :)

Just to let you know I was one of the first to do the Letterbox mod, if YOU do a search you will see my name pop up and do you mean like this with the badge.

I was one of the first to do it with the TH grill I did it in Sept 2003, before me was 2much with a TF grill, he gave me the inspiration to do it.
I'm now thinking of doing the same again or maybe something different

A grill machined from a solid piece of material :D not that it would make any sense labour and cost wise.

A bit hard to make a billet out of a grill I already have.
and anyway I don't have a CNC machine.

There's an Idea a Grill with a Tongue hanging out.
and a side note I nearly didn't have my first grill as an oLd gentleman in a 4WD with a Trailer backed into me today at the lights and cause around a grands damage to the front of my car.
but my grill survived. but it bent the crap out of my bonnet

However you want, Billet means - "machined from a solid piece"
IE: not cast, moulded or pieced together.

Gotta hate the bad luck your having- hope it all gets better soon,
As said a billet grill is just that- a machined grill- not a surround with no grill:D
