About twice as much as it should cost at that!

I love how us consumers on here are taking the task and doing this for less than half of what quadratec is selling this product for! I will be doing my "custom" grill insert very soon!

Well I doubled up on the "grill mods" I did the bedliner and today I setup the inserts. The white flecks you see aren't dings, just dust and bugs.

The perforated steel isn't really easy to cut - but not bad.

Since taking the pictures below, I pulled the grill mod out, and put a gentle curve to the front - which makes the steel sit more closely to the back of the grill.

I like the looks of mod plus the advantage of stopping a rock from getting into the radiator. Nice job...
