I have been looking at different ways to “mod” the exterior. I have not found any sort of custom grill. The Insight has the same dilemma as several other vehicles that have a two-piece opening in front of the radiator. It has a grill in the lower part and nothing in the upper. This allows rocks, bugs, and other road debris to enter and damage the radiator and condenser.

I have contacted a manufacturer about a “group buy”. I am building templates this week-end. The billet grille is made from extruded T-6 aluminum for strength and durability. Installation would be simple.
I will install my prototype and post pictures when complete. It will probably be a couple of weeks. I am guessing the price to be around $60.

How many would be interested in an Insight original custom billet grill?

If interested, contact me at: insighthybrid @ yahoo.com

I have uploaded a Photoshop image of the grill installed at the following link.

This is a digital enhanced photo. I have not installed the grill.

LoNOx 1,
Thanks for the photoshop pic. Interesting.... I'll have to consider this.
I'm kinda' cheap, but this seems like a pretty good price.
