Hey guys, I wanted to do a mesh grill to my 01 CLS, but i didn't want to cover up OEM grill "bars". I think that putting the gril BEHIND the original bars will look better than covering it. I haven't figured out how to do it. If you have any ideas or have done it, post some pics and some instructions. Thanks!


Heres the bars im talking about.

 

I did mine with black zip ties and put them near the top of the mesh grill, because if u get down there and look, there are like little hole loops things you can put the zip ties through, and i put a couple around the bars, but they are black and not one person has noticed yet sooo

 

two things,

1)Do you have pics?!

2) What kind of Giovanni 18"s do you have?

 

I ve had 3 variations. I get the most compliments on the following 3rd try.

I am told this is the only way it doesn't look ricey.

 

OOps I forgot to attach this image.

 

I have a quick question about where did you get that tight emblem I must have it

 

1. Sorry no pics. No Digital Camera
2. Coriscas

 

Johntypes has the grill from the insode, and I like it much more.

Does anyone have pics of his car? Better yet, CALLING JOHNTYPES!!! Help with the mesh grilll pleassssee!!

 

Oops! I forgot to add, is "johntypes"(spelled like that) his actual forum name, if so, ill PM him. Thanks.

 

The emblem is a piece of .019" painted aluminum backround (white) with the emblem hand painted red and baked enamel in an oven.
The aluminum is painted white and is available from amy window installer. It is the trim coil used for bending siding and window trim.

 

i see that you have a grill on the lower part, I just got a black 2001 CL-s and put the grill on the upper part but cant figure out how to put the bottom one on......can u help me out?
