    This is how my satoshi grill looks so far. i haven't mounted the grill on yet because i'm having trouble... any ideas? Also, i haven't finished painting anything... The plastic part on the grill needs black spray... but it has been primed! well give me ideas please!

    Home depot. They are right next to the zipties. I used 1" mounts and 4" zipties.


    I put Goop adhesive on the back of the mounts. DONT use the tape that is on them... does NOT work :)

    And thanks. as you can see theres about to be Long Travel in that mix ;)

    Heres another way to secure your grille material, some angle brackets and screws. IMG_0202_43f67b2d501747e80fc661febfdc5060467c4b3f.jpg

    I put a little epoxy on and after it set up I went back and fiberglass them in. I tried ripping them off as a test and there is no way they're falling off!! :D
