They’ll probably tell you to file a claim with your insurance

Looks great. How are you attaching and how much force do you think can take from potential impact of said rock?

Looks black to me, I think it’s the reflection of flash that makes it look shiny maybe silverish?

Looks good. I was concerned about this opening and made a post about it.

How is it secured?

And how much?

I need one.

I ordered a mesh grill from eBay, and out of curiosity mocked up this. I can look into making more, it should protect from small rocks hitting the radiator.
No bumper removal required

Nice DYI, itll surely keep out cats and rabbits from hiding in there too.. Did you mount it to the bumper with a little PL400 or zips?.

Good job man! Two questions: Do you think the holes are small enough to protect well? Have you considered painting the grille black?

No glue, no zip ties. It sits there under its own tension.

If it’s small enough to fit through the mesh. It should be mostly harmless at that size I think
