Hey guys, I was just wondering how you felt the best way was to attach mesh to front bumper openings. Pictures would be great if possible. I have a modified front stock bumper and i just bought some mesh from O'Riely's... it comes in a square template. Ideas for installation? Thanks.

I have seen people use glue and/or metal clips. Is this how people with body kits such as mp5 and combat attach their front mesh?

all i did was use a little bit of fiberglass to attach it. took a little while to dry and thats it!

bondo or hot glue?

don't use hot glue
it won;t last, last year on my way to the missauga meet it fell off on the highway thats why on my cardomain pics some of them don't have anyn front mesh

depends how are u meshin the grill

are u makeing a cafestyle grill or meshing behind the grill


make a templet outta paper, (if you are gonna make the cafe style grill cut it 1/4 smaller & put some window rubber molding so it wont scratch the paint) u can either use small l brackets or just cut tabs & screw it in

good idea... yeah, i want to just put some mesh in the big hole on the front stock bumper. My bumper doesn't have the middle "grill" piece anymore, it was removed, so i just want to fill that area for asthetic purposes and to protect the radiator.

Cafe style? Not getting you... could you explain please

just use liquid nails then it will never come off.

I went to home depot... bought some "gutter gaurds" took off the hold brackets with wire snips, measured the openings.. (i did all 3 on the stock bumper), then i cut the mesh to the size.. trimed slightly... and trimmed some more... afterwards..i placed a small ruberseal around the outer edges... held it pretty wellin place. then i used clear zipties to hold it to the back bars.. it looks pretty good, and you can't see the zip ties unless you get *REALLY* close. i'd post pictures.. but my cam is broken...

Cost:
Guttergaurd = $1.60 US.
rubberseal = less than 1.00 us.

pretty cheap mod.. only took me about 45 minutes.

i mean GRILLCRAFT style
