    Some people were wondering what I used to mount the grill and how I did it so I figured I would take some pics.

    I bought some longer skinnny bolts. I looked for ones that fit through the holes on my grill and had a small head.

    After cutting my metal grill material to roughly the size of the whole on the front of the grill, I figured if the grill craft works for this mod then I would only need it to be the size of the hole flush with the front, I bolted the nuts and bolts to the grill in the positions I wanted them, so that they are just hanging where you want to glue them on. I used 5 minute gel epoxy to attach the bolts to the plastic of the grill surround, and let it sit over night. All of this was done with painted part of the grill down like in the pictures.

    Is there enough material to do the sides too? I'm considering getting this style mesh too but wanted to do all of the grill. Thanks.
