Looking for a honeycomb upper grill
Buy this one and make one like Boxer_Rebellion did.

Just a 2 suggestions:
1. I was going to purchase 2 middle honeycomb grilles, glue one to the top of the other and trim the ends to fit the 34 inch wide opening between the headlights. The stack height of this combo is 5.25 inches and the vertical space to fill is 5.5 inches, so there would be a 1/8 inch gap at the top and bottom. The two pieces are ABS, so they should accept plastic model cement. I was also going to put "bordering pieces" on the edges. so the headlights would have a more finished look than the honeycomb edge.
2. Purchase 2 lower Scion Tc grilles, cut 17 inches from the right on one, cut 17 inches from the left on the other and splice the two together in the center. The height is correct for the upper Xb grille, but I suspect that the "honeycombs" are 25% smaller on the Tc than the Xb, which is why I like #1 above. The Scion emblem should cover the splice.
Well, that's my 2 cents.
