u have to cut, where the black mesh meets the solid black plastic, that chrome A is mounted on.

you shouldn't have to remove it.

Mmmmmm... Mesh.....

Its very easy but it takes time and is very delicate. By the time your done, expect your hands to be prettty much destroyed.

I took me a few hours to do all this....

I saw an ALTIMA the other day, and he had a grill done that I was just so impressed by!! IT wasn't a mesh, but it was like vertical metal strips... throughout the entire grill. I dont know if that is a good description, but all I know is .. I loved it, and I want it!! Is there any websites that just sill aftermarket grils that are pre-made?

what a few of the other members did, which was more time intensive, is they took the bumper off, and cut the plastic fogholes from the inside, then epoxyed the mesh from the back. now that looks really slick and would match well w/ a mugen grille !

the front bumper only takes about 5 min to take off, its easy. thats the way i would do it (the mesh)

I wont do it that way cause I refuse to do any mods to my car that require permanent modification to body parts. I already loose ass loads of $$$ by modding it, im not going to loose ass loads more when i go to trade it in.
