The fiberglass nose, purchased about 6 years ago, shrunk up a bit, so I'll cut it and reshape to get the shape back. Glass does move if you don't anchor it and this piece has been off the car for some time now. My bad, definitely not the manufactures fault. Fix started today.
Agreed. It's from Custom Works and it fit very well. A bit of massaging and it will be perfect and I always liked what Keith did revising the shape.
I had planned on using the stock grill insert but the re-pop wasn't great and there was a guy at SEMA who hand made a metal insert with larger grids. It was extremely well executed and looked great. I'm going to redesign the factory grid pattern and try to 3D print a revised version. Down the path now, we'll see if I can get it close enough to fit into this nose piece and then fit the fiberglass to it.

It would be shame to cover up that work.
Thanks! Yep, for sure no front plate. Not required in Idaho, though I probably should have a plan for a temp setup while driving in other states.
Here's the first attempt at doing a plastic insert. Stretched my Solidworks skills big time. Had some help, thankfully. Just hit send for the first test print.
