--- "Stealth" Plexiglass Grill Block --- (PICTURES)
 
Hey guys,

So I wanted a grill block that could not really be seen, so I came up with my answer.

It sits right behind the oem mesh and you can barely see it. The plexiglass I got at Lowes for $13. And that is all it took (and zip ties). (OH AND GET THE THICK PIECE OF 18X24 OF PLEXIGLASS! DO NOT GET THE THIN ONE THATS AROUND $6 BECAUSE IT IS WAY TO FLEXIBLE AND IT WILL CRACK!!)

I could not do the top "slits" of the grill because there was no way to mount it, but I did do the area right behind the center emblem. Again its VERY stealth and you can bearly see it, its durable, light, and CHEAP!

A look behind the bumper; the middle part I didnt cover because half of the middle part is covered by the license plate which acts as my grill block :) Also, the plexiglass was not long enough, which was a good thing, again because the licensce plate sits there...

IDK it's glossy... that'd be the only problem. I used the back of a three ring binder (a black one) and It worked out perfect! I'll try to post pics.

The grill block looks great, i just did mine like a month or so the same way. ive notice a small difference but have to keep watching it to see

Looks excellent!

Something I'd consider if the OEM VX grill block wasn't so cheap and easy to mount. :)
