Is it me or does any one else think the plastic on the SIII is really, really tacky?

FYI, I have nothing to do with this guy. In fact, I don't even have an SIII any more. But I do wish I had seen him a while back.

IMO, the stainless grille is much more tacky.

Great idea. But definitely needs to be '3-dimensional' in my mind rather than flat cutout in the same shape as the original.

One of the things I always liked about the II was the metal grill. I think you are right, the stainless wouldn't work. But perhaps galvanizing.

Oh, heck, I drive a IIa now. I don't care!

Doesn't this solve the 'eating galvanized metal for breakfast' issue?
Wonder if he could make one with a grease trap so I could lower my cholesterol.

Awesome!
I'd also like to see a non-stick version. don't get me wrong, I can cook eggs on cast iron, but really who doesnt love teflon!?

I vote for the wire version. If you want to do your own stainless, aluminum, titanium etc grill we can always draw one up in AutoCad and give the DFX/DWG drawing to a place that does water jet cutting. Pretty simple...or if its steel you might go to a laser cutter too. Either way lots of possibilities to make your own parts. Could cut something out that looks similar to the wire.

Roverdrive makes a really nice galvy replacement grille. Or you could always go with an original wire one from a late IIA.

Using a frying pan solves that. It also helps keep the scrambled eggs from falling through the grill. :thumb-up:

Roverdrive does not make the nice galvanized grill. Roverdrive only makes overdrives www.roverdrives.com The galvanized metal grill is made by Rocky Mountain now a separate company parabolicsprings.com Both are in West Vancouver hence the confusion
