    Mines in my sig. Paint (if you want to, i didnt), zip tie mounts (lowes has em), zip ties, mesh, a hacksaw to cut the mesh, and a dremel would be very useful to cut out the old grille.

    I know on the 2nd gen you need fiberglass and bondo, but it looks like I don't need that, do I? And how do you secure the mounts?

    You can use the bondo/fiberglass but I didnt. If you look close you can see the indents in the grille where the old one was connected. I used this plastic welder stuff from oreily's that comes in a tube for like $6. I just put the zip tie mounts on where i wanted em, used the plastic welder stuff around the edges, then I secured the mesh with zip ties.
