For those of you who made the custom grill...how exactly did u make it? i know u used chicken wire, but did u just put it over the existing grill, or take off the grill somehow? anyone who has directions on how it's done, please email me: brekdown13@aol.com

 

Check out the garage section. There is only one article on this for some reason (with all the people who have custom grills, you would think there might be some more ideas up there... hint, hint...), but maybe it will help you.

 

its really not hard to do. I used the stuff that you put over gutters to keep leaves and stuff out. You can buy it at home depo, lowes, scottys, ect.

ill post instructions when i get home =)

 

All you have to do is buy a roll of gutter guard and unscrew 4 black nut type things that hold the front grill in. Then you will find little plastic pieces that hold it in and you just pop them out and out it comes. Then take out all the screws around the crome trim piece that holds it on and the two screws behind the "A" and then 2 on each side of the "A" holding the horizontal crome bar on. Then you just but the gutter stuff across the grill and cut it some so all the screw holes and little plastic slot things will still fit in. Screw the grill in between the crome trim ring and the back piece (leave the "A" center piece out) securely not to tight so it wont break. Then trim the edges and get a new "A" if you want to put back in the middle and put the grill back in.

 

Hey looks like he beat me to it. O well. Hes exactly correct, took the words right out of my mouth. =)

 

Anyone have ideas on how to do the lower grill besides glueing or zip-tieing?

 

sorry but i remember posting the instructions before so i just went back and copied and pasted my old post.

 

I still want to check out your car sometime. Since you live so close.

 

I already have the bottom grill looks tight. I have it ziptied.

I actully just put it in last night, since i got a new bumper since my accident.

I am going to do the top grill, maybe tonight. anyone have pics, i want to see what it will look like.

 

MY CL Page
Go there i got a really crappy pic of my grill.

 

by the way how did you attach the zip-ties to the bumper and to the material?

 

u can use gutter covering, but i like the folia tech car gills. they are strong and easily shaped. heres a pic. again i dont have a the how to done on my site, but u can always call me and ill try to explain it, i i used maybe about 8-10 zip ties and thats it. i can take my grill out in mins. and i p=ut in in in about 30 mins. also if u dotn want to keep having to take it off tho change ur bulbs u can change them from undernetah u just got to pop off some plastic snaps on the undershielding stuff. also if ur gettign clearouts do them first. hers a pic. my car has changed greatly since(easter 01). soon to have an air dam also.

 

yea i do have a set of clears on the way, and some of the fola tech material. Going to do both grills with it when it gets here if i can. thanks

 

I also have the hood grille done too. There should be a pic on my link below.
