2nd gen grille came in two pieces???

Ok well here is a thread from @HomerTaco the grill master who has put together and taken apart several hundred grilles here on TW in his day. He even has a video of it. I remember reading in @blackhawke88 threads when he did grilles that sometimes they do come in two pieces. Before TRDPRO grill inserts everyone did Satoshi grilles.

oops it appears his videos were hosted on photobucket so not sure if they even exist anymore .....sorry

 

Another suggestion by @Rich91710 from 2013 he used ABS plumbing cement on the tabs.

 

Thanks so much great info and that was my plan as well ... epoxy

 

I've been using black abs cement to do alterations on my surround. You can thin it with acetone or melt shavings with acetone to make more. Edit- the flexible bumper plastic(bumper cover and upper cover) isn't abs and neither abs cement nor epoxy will stick.

 

Just buy a Sport grill.
