I will also cut/slice a black rubber hose and frame that mesh so that the cut edges are not sharp. Looks like a fun project!

Awesome! When you do, can you write up a how-to guide with photos??? Please and thank you!

yeah, was about to post that but its way too much, even for me. if i had any skill or attention to detail i could make one for 10-20% of that price, and that one doesn't even look that good IMHO.

was this one of the companies you contacted? http://cmodgrilles.auctivacommerce.c...-P1682797.aspx

they make one that be perfect if it was made for an outback. i emailed them. perhaps you'll have more luck.

No - but looks good and the price is right better than some other ones for some 300 bucks! Where are they located? Their website doesn't really show their address...if you do get a reply, let me know, I am interested...I will email them as well....thanks .. looks like some offshore company as they refer to Customs and 1 to 2 weeks transit time...

I think it's an Australian company....
