Has anyone done this - cut and add mesh grill to the front spoiler ?
Is this possible ? can a noob DIY ?

Mesh Grille

 

Yep did it to my old corolla

Is easy enough to do I spose, just take your time and be careful with clips.

Easy way to attach the mesh is to glue screw lugs that you put into brickwalls to you bumper, out of site obviously, and then just screw the mesh to that.

Get yourself a good pair of tinsnips too, as clean cuts look so much better!!

Bumper removed:


Rear view, underneath the black leci tape is the little screw lugs that I have glued on


Partly Done. Just screw the mesh into the lugs and its all done


Finished Product

thanks matey

>>Rear view, underneath the black leci tape is the little screw lugs that I have glued on

I don't suppose you still are able to take a CLOSE shot of that area, are ya ?

 

Sorry sold the car now and dont have any more pictures.
Um do you know what I mean by the "screw lugs"?

Hmmm so hard to describe

 

makes good bug catchers

 

sounds hot, do it, take pics, and i might copy.. hehe

 

this DIY mod can look good, but 90% of the ones I see look like crap. Spend sometime finding mesh that will look good.

 

Hmmm...Looks like a tough DIY project
Intake on TSX bumper is pretty "deep"...so if you just place the mesh on the opening on the BACK...you can hardly see it.

Lexus IS 300 will be the example to follow.

 

I wish these people make one for TSX soon
Grillcraft

 

The "mesh wire grills", i hate to say, looks a bit ricey.

ah..sorry, read that thread a while ago

 

hmm i wonder how this is done....the characters on the grill
anyone ?

 

Masked and spray-painted

 

Oh, the irony of it all...

 

?? Did I miss any announcement? :o

 

 

it's been more than a year. just wondering if anything has come of this? updates?

 

Theres a guy on the other board who makes these for the lower grille and fog light openings. he does this for a living...but hes on the other Club TSX board. do a search. good quality too and good products from what i seen
Jay

 

I got one from this guy and they are great. Its like a factory fit and takes 5 mins to install.

click here for the link ebay

 

i've got one also. fits perfect and stops big bugs from slamming the radiator. oh, and it looks good also

 

I'd like that painted black

 

They come in silver or powder coated black. you can also get fog light grilles in silver or powder coated black. Check ebay. Not all listings may always be available. And despite what Jay said, no, he does NOT do it for a living. It's just to benefit fellow club members.

 

I think the mesh would look much better if they were black.

 

actually I think I have seen them on eBay not too long ago heheh

 

Does it seem like alot of stuff gets stuck in the grill?
How's the maintenance?

 

 

mine is black. my car is black. the mesh blends in very nicely, almost looks stock.

Also, yes, it catches a lot more bugs than i thought it would. I just wash the front and the come right off. no maintenance at all. the clips hold it in very securely.

 

I was wondering if you can recommend any front grills that are easy to install. I can't find anything on ebay.

 

Try making your own. I did. It was cheap and simple. Check out this thread:

i've seen it, but that's too much work I would rather pay

 

Too much work??? To make a pattern, cut it out and install? Took me an hour. But to each their own.

 

Contact Peregrine on the other TSX forum. If you have an 04-05 TSX, he can do one for you. That's those grilles that used to be available on ebay.

 

if you want some hexxed grille.. pm me! Someone I know custom made those grille. TSX420J and I are the only the have this grille.. I cant give you any kind of detail on the forum because I'm not a vendor so I can't really sell anything from the forum.
TSX420J's Ride

 

i am willing to pay for one of these grills. how long is the install on it take and howmuch for 1.. do u think it would look good on a 2004 pwp tsx? if so pm and send me a price and we can talk from there

 

lol... which grille are you talking about? If you are talking about hexxed then you pm me. wtf....lmao! I'm not here to sell anything but to help my buddy.
