3 bar grille mod [ongoing progress]

It's probably too late now, but any marine supply store will sell all sorts of fillers you could mix in with your ABS cement to make it more like the filler you'd need. Anything from plastic beads to chopped fiberglass in quart cans. Maybe for the next one.....

I joined a fledgling hackerspace a few months ago, which is actually being hosted by a performance shop a couple of the members run (700+ HP supercharged LS1 in a 4th gen Camaro that can break the tires loose at up to 100 MPH). They have plans for producing some custom parts, from intake manifolds to standalone ECU's. Of course we have a 3d printer, and soon we'll be looking for where to get automotive grade ABS pellets.
I will have my other main HHR project done in a month or two, which is smartphone controlled LEDs in my lower grille. I went to Wendy's today with the LED strip running in my passenger seat, and the kid at the drive thru window actually thought the seat was on fire... that's what they're supposed to look like.

I just read this entire post since I spotted the "3 Bar" grille on a search for an SS grille frame. I can't wait to see what the result is when this is finished.
Thanks for the step by step, this is turning out to be quite interesting.
