the reason I'm going for the style I am was because it's still kind of OEM looking but different at the same time.. alot of cars use these styles of mesh

I should have the grill mesh tomorrow
grills came in today
just gotta wait for the stock grill to come in now from btj.. .which thank you very much for helping out man
You should have it Tuesday or Wednesday.
No grills fo u!...no vents! Autotrans FMIC fitment... only focus..tunnel vision!!!
Ive been thinking of having a machine shop mill out the small hump bead in the center of the vents to let heat escape...vs. full screened vents...cant believe someone hasnt made em already...HEAT IS KILLER..especially here in AZ

which I should be doing the before dyno that day as well..yea I'd do that but honestly the amount of work it would take i dont think would actually give a benefit esp for the cost.. the cost wouldnt really change much from what I projected previously because 90% of the work is the same ya know and the grill material is just excess so i'm not really factoring that in lol
Prolly true...I def want some type of heat escape for the hood...especially here.haha autotrans fitment should hopefully be tested next wednesday

You can turn the towhook mount problem in to something cool by cutting away the grill at the access point and mounting a racing towhook that has a very short piece of tow strap between the chassis mount and the towhook. That way you don't have to engineer the removeable patch piece of the stock grille and you don't have to worry about a fixed towhook damaging the subframe if you get in to an accident.
To me the mesh grille seems like a good idea but visually it is missing that bumper strip and it is just too much of one texture over such a large area.
I dunno, maybe a skirt or some trapezoidal pieces on the bottom would break it up a bit. My preference would be for a significantly oversized Hyundai logo in the center of the grille like 80's Mercedes or DTM cars.
Lipstick might look good as well to define the grille and make it look more like a race car. The new Aston Martin race cars I saw over the weekend used lipstick for a good effect.
