I think Brenspeed had some for sale on their website not too long ago. If you sell the emblem, let me know.

Are you having any issues with your billet grill?

Home depot chicken wire.
As for mounting i used the stock fogs as a template to blend the wire around.
Plastidipped black 3-4 coats

I cant remember the spacing on the wire but
been on this setup for two years no maintenance.

Ive got probably 20ft of this material at home i have no use for. Just set up a time and ill give you as much as you need.

Fitment is fine, maybe a little off on the driver side bottom corner.. it doesn't tuck in quite as tightly as I'd like. I'm not sure on brand, it came with the car.. what have people been experiencing?

Pic for reference:


It's a shame that people don't have the saleen grill in stock.. I always thought it was a great look.

lolvtec, that looks like the AM billet grill, same as mine just mine is not polished. Both look near identical in pics at least. The AM one is metal, I've read the Roush is plastic.
