splitting the stock grill in two can it be done????????

i was looking on here and seen if you order a grill it come in two half's the chrome and black are separate..
can this be done to a stock 2010 grill and be put back together

 

Buy the $30 grille from parts geek. It comes in two pieces, then i epoxied the tabs from the back. The factory melts all the tabs to the grille so idk if you can get them out, you would have to cut the tabs, leaving no more tab to be glued/melted back in.

 

yeah your getting what im saying i just dont know if its worth trying or if anyone has

 

Not worth it imo. The grille from parts geek that i used is a great value for what you pay. I satoshied mine and colormatched the outside piece. Having the grille in two parts is great because you dont have to tape and because you can paint the outside piece, wait for it to dry and work on fiberglassing and bondoing the grille piece, if satoshi is the path you are taking.

 

If you search for the Tyoshi grill that is what that is.

 

I have taken a stock oem grill apart (non-chrome) & had the surround professionally painted then re-attached it.
There are about 30 tabs in the back you cut off with a dremel or bend up with a small screwdriver.
The surround comes off easily for painting, herculiner, plasti dippy whatever ...
Re-attach with a solder iron, melt tabs back in place and/or plastic cement.
It doesn't take that long at all.

 

thanks for the advice ill definitely use that while reattaching it.

 

well i decided to just go for it cus if i mess it up im only out $30 bucks to get a new one so here we go.

Heres where there is no turning back


Heres the end result


well tell me what you all think

 

x2!

 

i did it with my stock 08 grill, just melted or ground the tabs down and she pulled apart. check out the "jamoshi grill" page, its what i used

 

how did you re-attach the tabs? Did you melt them or what?
