Problem with front grille on my 97

I was checking my oil level yesterday and when I went to close the hood,.. the mesh that had been inserted behind my grill curled up and it kept the hood from closing...I slammed it and then the grille just flew off it broke off all the mounting points except for 1... does anyone know how to fix it? my car looks pretty ugly for the holidays.... damn bullshit

thanks,
M

I think you are gonna have to just buy a new grill. Most of my clips broke off over time on my 97, causing it to rattle soooo bad. I just took off my entire front grill and have been grill-less for many months.

Try to super glue the grill to become 1pc. Then zip tie that bIsh back on.

thats brute, i had my grill off for a bit, when i was bored and i took it off and tried to figure out how to paint it or mod it, it was a gaping hole of mount holes, looked cool from far away sometimes, all blacked out kinda
looks you're gonna need a new grill assembly part though...check the wrecker!!
