And on that note, if anyone has the know-how to model a grille like that, please let me know? I've been needing to model a nice grille for FOREVER but not one person i've talked to so far has had the know-how to do it... Lint, himself, couldn't remember how he did it when I asked him [something like 4 or 5 months ago now? Lol. xD]
Anyways, sorry for going off-topic. I've been needing to ask the community that for a while now and just haven't had all that much of an opportunity lately. 
Boolean?
