What did you do about removal of the old center support pieces? How do you cover them up so they don't have gaping holes in the sides of the grill? Thanks

I just used fiber glass. I have a constant supply of glass on hand for my water craft problem...

I also used some aluminum channel for ply wood to attach the emblem. It turned out very clean. You can't see any supports for the emblem.
