There are plenty of clippings to secure the grille with the bumper.

My only problem at this time is making these without the car because I will not have have a Gen 1 to work on after this week...So, there may not even be anymore of these made. :(

It's so much easier for me to produce the Gen 2 grilles because I have the car to work on at all times and I install the grilles on my car before I ship it out.

All depends on me having access to a gen 1. The cf look or even black with the framing takes very long, but can be done. Just give me some more time if you are interested in the cf/black style.

Are you still willing to do one for the 1.5 front? One in black would be very nice on a silver car.

My homemade grille is beginning to show signs of age...I would most likely be in the market as well, if you could produce one similiar to my current style, but professionally done:

Thanks guys, but like I said, it IS homemade, so over time the chrome as started to fade, the mesh has been pulled, "dented," etc...so I'd like a professional one.
