I always notice you use the mad icon. Why? heh

[JAYMAN320]

arent you going to finish the rest of the vents?

and i see the baby blue spray you did on your radiator area, lol, overspray on the cap and part of the car?


well, looks good man, why spend $50 on grills when you can do em yourself for under $10


peace

[Starchild]

Thanks
Yea, I will finish it off later on. The bottom part looks naked
I didn't pay a single dollar for anything. I got the grill off my friend and I had to cut parts of it out. Took me a while.

I went to Lowe's this afternoon and picked me up the parts to do this. What did you attach the grill to? And what did you use? epoxy or bondo or? I think I'm gonna colormatch mine too. But anyway, looks nice.

Thanks for replies
Mike, use plastic straps to mount the grill to something close to it and hold it in place. Also, your work will be much easier if you take off your front bumper. I would suggest doing so but you may have hard time getting screws off and on again.

Make sure the plastic straps are long enough. I can show you where I mounted the straps. Want me to take closer pictures?

AcCoRd boI, i think it will look nice if you color match the grills to your car. Especially on the 6th generations. Good luck. Lemme know if you're done or start on it.

Peace

I've taken off my front bumper several times actually: to install my black housing headlights, then again to seal the headlights, amidst others... Anyway, I just went out to my car to try and prefit the mesh before painting it. So I took two zip ties and attached it on both sides, and it looks like I had the same problem as you. The middle of the mesh stuck way far out from the bumper. Maybe I'll just have to use epoxy like I had planned.
