If you are wanting to mesh your grill? You use gutter guard. The grill comes out of the hood but a 98 grill does not come apart. So I covered my whole grille and bent the guard around the back of the grill. This sounds like what you are asking. I tried to erase my plate that is why it looks funny.

what is gutter guard? is that a name for the type of grill used? u mean to say that i can't take out the stock grill and replace the whole thing with a grill? yea, i want to do something like what you did, except without the acura emblem, and without the back stock grill showing. is that possible? thanks.

You can get "Gutter Guard" any hardware store. That is the name of the stuff. If you take your grill out, you will notice it is one piece. You should get a 97 grill. They have a chrome trim piece around the outside that you can remove, put the gutter guard in then replace the trim piece. You could probably get a drimmel tool and cut out some of the black grill behind it. You don't need to put the emblem back in. It takes 30 sec to take out your grill. Take out your grill and you will figure it out.

DONT USE GUTTER GUARD!!!!

sorry man, but I can see your oem grill perfectly

go to any car shop and get the thick "diamond" mesh that you see on body kits, its a little expensive, primarily because its from Cali, but it looks so much better---------trust me
