mesh grill material and mounting? [Merged 2-7]

[RaysTsi]

Use the holes that hold the crosshairs in place. That way you're not making any new ones. And it will be more secure than cinching it on.

 

[RootBeer]

what are the crosshairs??

 

[FourG63 97GST]

I went to home depot an got some "Liquid Nails Adhesive" to hold my grill in. It holds up very good and didn't have to drill any holes in my bumper

 

[c0degsx]

that grill is gonna look &^*#@( nice bro!

 

[98TalonESI]

I have a 98 talon and i did it to my bumper with the liquid nails. it was really easy and it turned out really nice. i would recommend doing that because you wouldnt have to drill or anything and if you wanted to you could rip it off ( not easily but it could be done) and noone would ever know.

 

[alIan]

taking the bumper off and attatching the grill from behind using zip ties or liquid nails is the way to go. It will look clean and stay firm.... that's how i did mine and its beautiful!

 

[EclpzLvr97]

Liquid nails, huh? I guess since about 3 of you have used it, it really works.. but isn't it difficult to install it since the car is so low to the ground. Just takin out the stock side markers to put in the clear ones was a bit of a pain.

 

[98TalonESI]

i had to take my whole font bumper off to do it. my mom about pooped her pants when she lifted the garage door and im standing there with my front bumper in my arms but when she saw when it was done she liked it. so yeah take it off and maybe your mom will like it too haha

 

[EclpzLvr97]

Actually, my mom would probably roll her eyes, tell me i'm like a tomboy, say something about it being hot out here, and go back in. haha

Does anyone know if this mesh was bought somewhere or if the person made this. This is the best I've seen on a 95-96 front end and I would like to have the same thing.

 

[InferiorWang]

almost looks like window screen. look around at home depot and see if you cant find something that tickles your fancy.

 

[DiSmO]

The holes almost look too small...can you say suffocation for the radiator? And i'm sure thats not good for the SMIC.

 

[Airpoppoff]

yeah no kidding, it looks like sheet metal????

 

[midnght]

Looks like they stretched a window screen and fitted it to the panels.

=suffication, strangulation, asphyxiation(sp)!

i know dsmtuners is more about the "go" part of the car, but whats everyone think of that in terms of how it looks? i like it, i think...very clean

 

[talontuner95]

I have a type of mesh in my front bumper on my 95' i will try to take a picture soon. It looks better then what u showed imo, it sits back further so i think it looks better. all i used was plastic gutter screen you can buy it at menards for like $1.00 for 10ft.

[KougarZ28]

I'm looking for a mesh grill that would be wide enough to cover the entire Blitz front bumper for the 2G.. the bumper i bought didnt come with the grills.. is there any place to order these online..?

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Wings West sells the good kind of mesh. Contact them directly to see what you can swing.

[InferiorWang]

find some kind of mesh at home depot and ghetto-rig that biotch

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Home Depot mesh is not big enough to cover a Blitz opening.
