Grill Plating On Car

[cherrington17]

I'm not sure how any people on here have put some kind of grill plating on their car... but i have a few questions anyhow... (i'm still kinda on the fence about this....)

What did you use?
How did you rust proof it?
How did you fasten it on?
How much did it cost?
How hard/how long did it take?

thanks.

I haven't put it on yet... But I've done some research and what I'm planning on doing is;

Buy mesh wire at home depot (haven't looked into size, cost, ext.)
"Fasten" it on with clear silicone.
I'm expecting to pay like 30-40 dollars at most.

I used Grill Mesh, that was extra from my Brothers Bodykit. Silicone to hold it down, came out really well.

silicone and a zip tie

i looked at some stuff at home depot since i just happened to be there yesterday, and it seemed pretty flimsy...

Doesnt have to be strong.

I used gutter guard from Lowes (Home Depot same thing) and clear silicone to put it on. total price was like 10 bucks or something. :thumbsup:

I used gutter guard too, mine's held in place with a few zip ties. That stuff is so light you could almost hold it in place with a well placed loogie...almost.

any kind of mesh or gutter guard will work and some zip ties and silicone and you'll be fine. Just watch out for those damn black birds. I had my middle one taken out because of one.

i'm more worried about unplowed streets in the winter. a decent ice chunk from a car, or it rusting from all the precip we get around here....

i bought my mesh from autozone (yes it is apc :rolleyes: ) back in spring of last year and it has been through all kinds of rain and it isnt rusting.

[johny_boy32]

maybe its just me, but I dont think they rust :unsure:

Mine's rusted but it's been there for like 3 years. Looks like poop I need to take it off.

paint it like silver or something and it shouldn't rust.
Mine hasn't rusted, I got mine from customcargrills.com used silicone fasten it in. And here in Colorado, my neighborhood doesn't get plowed, and I always drag the bottom of my car and the lower part of my bumper in the snow, and it's stayed in there fine

I bought a nice one at the speed shop about 4 years ago.

I used white engine paint the paint mine

Center piece I used drywall screws to blot it down, the sides, wedged in front of the fog lights and zip tied them in :thumbsup:

cool pattern too

So all i need is some silicone adhesive and zip ties? :unsure:

anyone have some under the bumper pics of there... like where they zip tied to?

i think after i do my calipers, i'll hit the grill with some of the left over clear coat... that should do it...

doh! double post! sry, its the network here.... (i'm at school, bored and taking a "how to use the internet" class... )

just get some aluminum mesh, i got mine for free from Dupont because they had some extra laying around the machine shop, the good thing about aluminum is it wil not rust adn is semi corosive resistant so it wont look like crap after that first snow storm.
