I purchased perforated stainless steel for my grill from h ttp://www.metalsupermarkets.com
They have stores in many locations across Canada and the U.S. The sheet cost me about $25 CDN
Installed it last fall, a week after I took delivery, and the stainless looks as good now as it did then.

FYI, the sheet that you are using is cutting off a TON of air flow. It needs to have a higher % opened than what you have. Dont know how temps get in Guam, but here that would cause an engine to overheat not getting enough air flow. Check out McMaster-Carr and order some with a high opening amount.
I did have a problem with the ziptie sticky blocks adhering the inside of the grill, even though I prepped the area before putting them in place. This weekend I will remove the blocks and apply gorilla glue so it will stay in place better.

Thanks!! I plan on taking it all off to do the grill itself in bedliner spray then putting the red grill and red Jeep symbol back on.
Eventually will get the decals re-done with same Red and instead of Rubicon it will say "Robicon". "Wrangler" will go red as well Plus a custom designed decal once it's finished

I was concerned about this as well, and have been monitoring the engine temperature since I installed the mod. However, there has been no change in the reading on the temperature gauge.
I did have a problem with the ziptie sticky blocks adhering the inside of the grill, even though I prepped the area before putting them in place. This weekend I will remove the blocks and apply gorilla glue so it will stay in place better.
