you can always cut out the middle pary and put a mesh in it, and paint the rest the body colour

! thats kool what would i use for holding the mesh in? i have never done anything w/mesh so yeah lol..
Thanks Matt.
My buddy used a hot glue gun, it worked really good.
Friend of mine who got my Escort from me took a grille off another Escort LX, cut out the center, and JB-Welded some mesh to it. It was a tedious process, but it looks pretty good now that he's done. It was similar to something I had always wanted to do to the car, but never found the material I wanted while I owned it. Of course, a couple months after he got it, I found the material. :giggle:
You could probably use something a little easier to work with, maybe like the hot glue suggestion.
The same screws that hold the grille onto the bezel are what's holding hte mesh in place, i just extended the mesh at the parts where it would screw in so it's screwed in right inbetween the mesh and the bezel.
I can take it apart tomorrow and snap some pics if you'd like.
well hell yeah, that would be kool and quit helpful.
alright, I'm at work, but I'll snap some pics when I get home later today.
