Excellent mod and write-up guys! Just did it myself and looks great!
As an fyi to others, you'll notice the grill is slightly bowed out, and when putting the screen insert in, you'll be best off trying to curve the expanded metal 'before' painting and installing -- that is only if you care and want to keep the entire bow in the grill.
As I was moddin' it, I checked a few times from the other side to see how it looked... Since my expanded metal was not curved, I figured it would bend to the grill -- but the grill bent to the metal... It doesn't look bad at all, I'm just a little too anal sometimes. The center sections of the grill are more flat now... Which... if you really think about it... this is two mods in one -- grill insert and grill flattener - like the previous jeeps (although the slant remains)..
