Billet Grille Noise - resonant whirring sound at 55+mph ***UPDATE: FIXED***
I installed the billet grille Friday and now I have a resonant whirring noise right at 35mph and anything over 55mph. It changes or stops when I get a different draft behind/beside somebody or if it's raining. I Googled and found some fixes that talked about using black silicone on the backside tips of the grille fins to bond them to the grille shell. Others tried strapping the stock grille shell to the back of the billet grille. This was a cutout billet grille.
Anybody ever had this problem?
UPDATE: Fixed! After multiple attempts to ditch the noise, I was able to install additional vertical support bars to resolve the problem. See post 17 for details.
