Very nice! Looks well done. I just pulled my grille yesterday to start working on it. I think I'm keeping the center pillar/emblem, but the mesh and color look to be exactly what I'm going for.

Thats what mine looks like!

I sawed off the hood latch lever so that I could fill up that gap in the plastic and wrap the mesh all the way down..

I am thinking if I should paint the mesh in other colour or just keep it black...

I may paint the grille itself in body colour when I get more stone chips :P

for now, I am getting a JDM S401 badge very soon

Mesh should not be any color other than Black. It should be illegal for mesh to be any other color..

Im probably going to paint my grill with PastiDip when I fill the middle..That way the next owner of the car wont have to respray it every month..
