Anyone know of a source for better grilles (lower)?
They actually seem cheap enough to buy a few, but I don't want new breaks before the car has a couple miles on it...

I made a new one (intake section only) from expanded metal (aluminum) and painted it black and it works great but it has since been sandblasted back to bare metal due to life in the Middle East. I will try to remember to get a picture when it's light enough and not scorching hot yet.
PS. I probably screwed up by not preparing it for paint with TSP but now I am wondering about doing all the under grill and coating it with plier handle dip...[emoji848]
