ok i know that the grill mesh thing is for the 99-01's, but i want to try to fabricate one. 2002tls. how do i get the grll off? the radiator is right behind it

 

The grille is attached to the hood. There should be some screws/bolts that hold it in place.

 

From the handy DIY thread -- https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-photograph-gallery-99/diy-taking-off-front-grill-pics-572103/

 

all us 99-01's have to do is twist off 5 thumb screws

 

Thumb screw my ass, those things were tighter than a dolphin's asshole

 

maybe somebody played a mean joke and put some lock tite on them lol

both i've taken off were simple enough with just my hands...

 

02-03's u have to take the bumper off. Take off the plastic bulk head cover, two or 4 clips under that that hold the grill in place. Next take off the front bumper and 4 clips or screws thart hold that in place. Check ebay for the mesh grill.

 

No shit. Mine ended up breaking the plastic the bolts were in on the grill. I had to put epoxy in the holes with new bolts.

 

 

lmao

when buying this.. plz... don't go around telling people you have a JDM grill just cuz it says JDM on the listing title

 

whats the plastic bulk head cover?

also im planning on using some gutter guard i have.

also about brand names, as long as it looks good i could care less about brand names like jdm. it could be called shitfence and if it looked good id put it on

tell me i didnt just find the greatest site on the planet

 

it broke so i took it off long time ago.. never thought of buying a new one to replace it.. nobody sees it anyways..

yeah otherwise you'll get a
...i had to learn the hard way

 

ok so doing the gutter gaurd thing sucked. i had to use two, one ontop of the other, becuase it wasent tall enough. got a general outline and after enough cuts and it just wasent working for me, said f it. but all the ones online are 100+. so i think stock is my only option now

 

You dont have to overlap the gutter guard. just create one for the bottom and one for the top. Simple enough

If you dont want to do that, buy gutter guard thats taller

 

its more of getting it to lay there and it go through all the tabs and holes

 

thats not hard at all, you can always bend the metal and cut it to fit around the tabs and all.. Bend it so when you screw the chrome pieces it will hold in place. Just be careful that you dont cut yourself.
