i have to finish painting and clear coat tomorrow. my only problem is i really dont want it to overlay the stock grill, but then im not sure how to keep it in tact if i take the stock grill out,,, ahh idk yet, but either way its gonna look sick. any advice wud help, cuz i dont wanna break out the stock grill.








any advice as to how to take out the stock grill and have these in there, instead of overl
aying them ?


here is a pic of it on, overlaying the stock grill.. i want to cut out the stock, but im hesitating!

 

you could use some sort of epoxy to stick it from the back side where it cant be seen. did you use expanded metal to make that?

 

thats nice!! can you make me one? lol

 

, does the stock grill just come apart as one piece from under the hood (i havent tried yet) and will it just pull out ?>

as far as the grill....heheh... its the mesh grill off of ebay... painted gloss black. . saves soooo much hastle with cutting a friggin grill out and then doing the eddges etc...

sticking it with an epoxy from the back, i can try, see how it will look once i get the stock gril off

 

yes stock grille comes right off!! theres like 4 push tabs and then just clips and itll come right out in out piece. super easy

 

if im not mistaken the stock grill is just held into place with the plactic pop plugs on the top and the bottom snaps in so it should just pop right out pretty easy.

 

but then i wont have that flat plastic piece anymore right where wen i open my hood, ahh lol . anyways any tools, or just pulll ?

 

yea you will lose that part of the plastic where you open your hood. as far as tools just a flat head screw driver to get the push plugs outta the top part should be all you need.

 

thanx. i'll see how it goes, i jus dont want to epoxy it anywhere where it will leave damage if i ever need to take the grill off.. we'll seee wat my options are wen thte stock grill is out....

 

On my CA grill you just cut that top part off then kinda mount it to that.

 

what ive seen alot of people do is cut out the stock bars and adhere those pieces to the stock grill. You would retain full functionality and looks that way

 

i know, maybe im just kind of worried about cuttin off the bars lol

 

just dremel out the bars in the middle and stick your custom grille in there, that seems to be the easiest and best looking way to go about it

 

here it is on..... overlayed.. i didnt cut out my stock grill... im really hesitant!! but i really want to cut it out at the same time.. ahh idk idk

 

just cut it you ricer i cut mine its not that bad, you saw it.

 

haha i know i want to ,

 

or you could use zip ties to where they arent seen... I dont see how this is custom haha... You didnt make it, these things have been out for over 3-4 years now

 

it's already wired on....i just want to cut out the stock grill though, but i am hesitating..

and its custom only cuz i just painted it, thats all. i stated its the ebay one.

 

oh ok well my bad...either way ive always been a fan of this grille cheap and looks good

 

did you just paint some expanded steel?

 

the grill actually looks gay as **** the way it comes, which is just like a metal / chrome look, i cant beleive it had it on my car like that lol...

 

I can.. 2.2 with SS emblems

 

 

haha funny

 

looks good
