I was really wary of this addition to my Jeep. There are $300 lattice screens and there are $30 lattice screens. I'm glad I chose the cheaper option this time! Perforated metal grid with powder coating. Let's see how it looks in a year or two. Looks great so far, very easy to install and if I have to replace it in a few years I'll still be a few hundred ahead of the 'quality grille' available at Revain.
