Alright everyone i found my digital camera today and took some pics of my mesh grill and painted bowtie, let me know what you think.... BTW converting to mesh on the top is a total bitch.

pics

 

looks great man...Im thinking about this to

 

VERY NICE! where did you pick it up or did you make it yourself either way it look great.

 

i made it myself out of some stuff i picked up at the local lowes hardware store.

 

I just put my stock one back in....i had this....what a pain in the ass....not to flame, sorry, just telling you my expierence.

How did you mount the grill ontop?

 

what kind of material is it? and about how much did it cost you...oh and where at in florida are you b/c i saw a yellow 2.4 kinda like yours the other night.

 

looks good. I have the lower done. I have had the mesh for a while now to do the upper grill, but keep looking at it and saying this is going to be a pain. how long did it take you? what all did you have to remove to get down in there? I have the mesh cut out for back bumper as well but haven't got around to put it in yet.

 

looks like you hit something there

 

Wow, that does look good. How much did it cost? What did you use to mount the mesh? Oh and the bow-tie matches it almost perfectly.

 

my friend and I are about to dive into this project soon on my SS/SC and advice on the top?

 

Surprisingly these look really good. Never seen one that worked to my appetite.

 

Looks great! Love the mesh conversions!

 

yeah damn semi kicked debris up and hit my front bumper on my way back from panama, I 10 FTL!

 

Thats funny I just finished mine too..

 

im in love! thats exactly what i wanna do. too risky though.

 

its just like a fencing material 5 dollars for a big ass roll. i live in lakeland (near tampa) so it probably wasnt me, unless some stole my car for a little while, lol.

thanks, it cost like 10 dollars and a few hours of time, bowtie would be a perfect match if the had not slightly fogged cause of the humidity. now dont laugh but i used 3m emblem tape to mount it, there is really no good place to screw it in, silicone would probably be best but i didnt have the time to wait for it to cure and all. the tape has been through some nasty ass florida thunderstorms the past few days and its still holding strong as ever.

TAKE YOUR TIME!!! i cut the middle parts of the grill out and then sanded the hell out of it.

that looks great man... i wish i could get my colors to pop like that with clear. floridas humidity and not have a paint booth accesible FTL.

 

I went a slightly different (and annoyingly difficult) route...and mounted all my grills to the front of the intake section...so that it wasnt hidden in behind.
then i bought a 2.4 grill and did the same for the lower section.
cheap ass home hardware mesh ftw!!

 

that looks great man, i cant even imagine how difficutl that was, LOL.

 

they all look great guys!

hey staged06 how did u paint your bowtie, i just changed my headlights to black projectors and i wanna paint my bowites black to match

 

I've been thinking about doing that for awhile myself. Yours looks good tho.

 

*Votes for a how-to from the next person to do this*

 

there isnt a how to? i may possibly be able to write one up.

 

There is one but it's like 'buy this sh*t, and it'll look like this'.. I think there are like 2 pics in it.

 

lol thats a pretty shitty how to, lol!

 

Yea, How to forum please!!!! I wanna paint mine, but i dont wanna do a shity job and have it chip up
