Here is the template.
What do you need?
- Philip screw driver.
- Slot screw driver.
- 10mm socket and ratchet.
- 3 feet of gutter guard. You could get a whole roll for $2.47. I prefer the thinner type because it's easier to work with.
- A strong pair of scissors which I forgot to include in the pic.
First, pop the hood and remove these bolts with 10mm socket.
Use a flat head screw driver to press down the tab on upper side of these latches.Carefully pull out the whole piece and set it on something soft (rags, carpet, ect.) so you dont get the outter trim scratched.
Remove all the screws on the back of the piece except for those that hold the "wing".
Cut 3 ft of gutter guard and set it on top of the grill piece. Try to align it careful so that it would cover the entire grill piece.
Put the Acura symbol back and keep it in place with 2 screws. Dont tighten the screws all the way. We'll need to adjust the screen later.
Cut the extra mesh with a strong pair of scissors leaving about 1/4in bigger than the grill piece. Be careful with the mesh edge, it's sharp.
Be sure that you dont cut the mesh much bigger than the piece or not big enough. Bigger=problem with fitting the outter trim back. Not big enough=the mesh will not be held in place tightly by the outter trim.
Put the outter trim back on and secure it with the screws that you removed earlier.
Put the whole piece back and secure it the nuts that you removed earlier.
Done.
Part cost $3.00
Labor 30-60min
The good feeling seeing your DIY (do-it-yourself) job: Priceless
Next weekend project.
Adding 2 amps to the existing Bose system. If y'all are interested, I'll do a template.
