I got a inven front bumper.
I was told to get mesh from home depot then paint black and clear coat.

How do you guys keep the mesh in place?
I'm installing this myself.

 

The guy that painted my nismo bumper used a heavy duty adhesive glue... The only problem is one of the glue spots broke off due to a rock hitting the mesh. Not sure of alternatives but GL!

 

There isnt a place to screw in a really short screw? My nismo had it... I used the "diamond" mesh steel cut to size and screwed them on. But it had some screw areas.

 

my 350 had screw areas, but a really strong adhesive might work

 

double sided 3m tape?
strong enough?

 

hmmm ive had bad experiences with that tape holding other stuff, Id stick to the glue, but its up to you. if it was my i would put everything possible to hold it up

 

My eyelids from Ionic (wonderful little things) are stuck on with 3m doubleside tape. Daily driven through rain, sun, freezing temperatures, etc. They're still stuck wonderfully Mind you, these eyelids are straight up exposed on the exterior, so they're going through a lot more than what your grills tape/sticky stuff would endure.

 

so i guess ill do heavy duty glue.

just don want it to fall out because im mounting my license plate on the grill of where the vents of the bumper are.

 

I suggest your using small wood screws along with a liberal amount of super glue. Drill your holes and take your time! Home Depot sell black mesh so there's no reason to go thru the hassle of painting...Good Luck!

Ok great. I will check out home depot. I just got some flat black paint so I guess I won't be needing that then.
