The "guts" of a Graphics3D is a list of Polygon objects. If you replace
these by Line objects, you'll get a grid with no fill:
Show[gfx3Dobject /. Polygon[{pt_,pts__}]->Line[{pt,pts,pt}]]
The reason for the fancy footwork with the list of points is that you
need to make the first and last point of the Line primitive be identical
in order for the line to form a closed loop.
