2012+ Grill mod write up 'thin lip' Custom Car Grills DIY

Its all in my write up in this thread on the first page. I think it starts with the 8th picture down.

 

Sub'd

 

I've been fighting this install since yesterday. The video makes it look like after you cut you just drop it in and start gluing. Not. The piece is too long,period. I ended up marking the back side with a china marker and cutting off the excess with snips. Now it sits pretty much flush with the grill,and should make the gluing process a lot easier.

 

Still fighting this POS. I've spent $60 on dumber stuff but this turd ranks right up there with them. Maybe I'm expecting too much?

 

Idk man, mine went perfect and I have never done this before. Hopefully yours will turn out good.

 

I think you're doing something wrong.

 

Like I said,maybe I'm expecting too much. I just can't get it flush on the sides with zip-ties. I'll post some pics in the morning.

 

You can bend the mesh to make it fit better

 

I think this is gunna be my next mod!

 

who sells the pre-bent mesh?? does anyone sell the pre-bent mesh and letters as a package??

 

Been very happy with my grill from Customcargrills.com

 

Customcargrills.com sells the bent mesh.

 

Looks good. I'm still quite happy with mine.

 

ordered!

 

Reviving an old thread. Maybe I missed here and on the their video, but do the insert points at the bottom of the outer surround need to be cut off? Those tabs have no where to go.

 

I think I found it on the instal vid. The outer most tabs need to be cut off.

 

Thanks for the write up. Now I need some letters on the front.

 

One of my favorite mods!

 

@moondeath i'm getting ready to do this mod this week. when you painted the radiator did you remove it completely? and i'm assuming you just used that rattle can?
Awesome write up btw! ill post some pics when i'm done.

 

Thanks. No need to remove the radiator. Just cover any areas you don’t want paint on. Like using newspaper to cover up the lights and such. Just a couple light coats of flat black from a can.
