giovanni did a nice job on his front grill where the A symbol is. he took the symbol and trim off, placed the mesh over and carefully clipped pieces back together.

It looks nice, it'll be my next cosmetic mod.

There are two ways to do it. 1)You can lay the mesh over the existing inner plastic grill and be done and over with. This way you can take it off and retain your orig grill. I think it looks ugly with the blck plastic inner grill in it.

2) I cut the entire inner black grill part out. As you can see the inner part is opened and I also painted the inside metal support black as well. This looks much cleaner. Then lay the mesh inside.
Ill show you in the next meet how I did it.

moahdriven:
Cannot find this mesh at home depot or lowes. I tried but the grade is very poor and the mesh was like chicken fence. The holes were just too big. I searched all over the place.

Dark DJ:
Yes the floor is painted with garage floor paint. You can find that at home depot. That was a pain. Moving all your stuff, cleaning, painting, drying etc. I would never do that again. But it looks great!

Yeah, we thought about doin that a few times, but never got around to it. oh well, maybe when i get a house of my own in the future, ill do it right before i move in. but it does look slick!

i fit my bois sentra with mesh grill. we went to home depot and got a diamond design mesh. we then got a dremel and cut the plastic part out of the grill just leaving the chrom housing. then we cut the mesh to fit inside the housing and voila. its reaaaaaaaaalllllll easy to do but the mesh is sharp as all hell so be careful
