Yea this is what I did also
I made my own set. It's not hard work but it's kind of tedious since unlike the 8GA grill where it's a straight cut to the fins, the 8GB grill has horizontal fins that end at a weird angle. So it's best to cut as close to the edge as you can and then carefully sand out the rest of the leftover bump until it's flush with the border of the grill.
As you see on the sides I didn't do that but I got kind of lazy and it's difficult to cut the end of the fins because the fins are hollow and it will create notches into the border so I guess cut them out and fill it up with bondo.

Alright thanks for the tip. I saw an Accord with a body kit at Bdubs yesterday and it had mesh in its grill but it was all mangled and coming off and looked like shit, so I want to try and avoid that. lol Once I get the mesh Ill play around with it and see what I can come up with.

Had another nice day so I installed the fire extinguisher in the glove box, it's a tight fit but it does fit.
I also did the mesh grill mod thingy, but instead of cutting the fins out I just decided to put the mesh behind them to prevent stuff flying in and hitting the radiator.
I also filled in the giant opening towards the bottom of the bumper for the same reason.
Not too bad for a couple hours of work if I say so myself.

i painted them, used aircraft paint remover to strip em clear down to the black layer then sprayed em with a high temp paint. didn't do thaaaaaatttttt great of a job but its good enough you wont be able to tell unless you really get up close. didn't touch the back side at all
not sure if i should rebuild them or not...heard its messy but i don't really think they need it. any tips on how to check?
