if I wanted to put a mesh in my bumper how do you hold them in, i heard there was like mesh glue but where can i get that?
thanks

you have a few options:
make little holes near the edge and use zip ties (when properly done, this is probably the best way)
clear silicone (clear stuff that comes from a foil tube...strong stuff. can be found in any hardware or automotive store)
you can get lucky and if you have foglights, it will stay on with just the pinching pressure. (you'll see what I mean if you have fogs and try it)

ahhh, i didnt get what people meant when they said use zip ties, but now i see! haha, i have fogs, but i should still zip tie them too, just to make sure they dont come out...right?

Ive been wanting to do this, its cheap and gives the front end a nice look. I will have to head over the home depot and pick some up.

oh, and people actually use silicone????? that would be a pain in the ass to do.

I wouldn't think silicone would be hard to do.... if you had your bumper taken off that is.

where did you get yours?????

Ive seen people say they got it at home depot, but i went there today, didnt see any, i asked a guy, he did bring to some that looking like this, but he said its not stainless, so it would rust after a while.

So where can i get some? and how much is it?????

Some places call it gutter gaurd or something like that. Its okay but ebay also has a seller that has a kit

billytheman1188 · 03-23-2007, 09:32 AM

Yea but i dont wanna spend too much on ebay for stuff i can get for a few bucks at a store around here. I will go to true value today when i get out of school and look for some, but i just wanted to know the price and where i can find it in the store. And is there a stainless steel one??? i dont want the shit to rust out.

Should be able to find one. 10 bux or so

If you are attempting to keep the metal finish look, then I heard clear coat will help protect from rusting.

If you want it blue, spray paint should do.

I got it for free from a friend, and he "borrow" it from work.

Gr1m · 03-23-2007, 01:13 PM

i love when you can do that lol

bratch15 · 04-23-2007, 11:13 PM

just thought I would bring this thread back up...I was looking on ebay and found 2 different companies that make the grills. One was custom car grills and the other one was thegrilleguy...any comments on these? Worth the money or just better to buy your own and cut it yourself?

pawzbear · 04-23-2007, 11:22 PM

hah i tried silicone, ended up wedging the side ones in, couldnt maneuver the middle one in very satisfactorily.... so i got pissed and ditched it. Its only in the sides but it looks fine.. a couple years later...lol

Oh i got a sheet of it from pep boys btw.
