Gilla Grille Questiion

I just bought my Grill and i got it yesterday. When i opened up the box it came with double sided tape and i was wondering did anyone used it? Do i have to use the tape when installing it? Also does anyone know a site that i can buy another mesh for it? I don't like the way it looks and it looks crappy too. Thanks


PS- Anyone know a godo paint shop around the 626 area that i can go have it painted at?

use the tape for the bottom of the grille. since the gialla grille doesnt have those clips it uses tape. this will work fine.

customautomesh.com is very nice mesh. expensive though.

Just saw the site...Nice i think imma get it.Its not expensive only 20 bucks for it. Thanks for the info. In the future if i wanted to take off the grill will the double sided tape damage the bumper when i take it out?

unless he wants chrome or ss mesh then these are bad options cause youd have to spray paint it black and the paint will chip. and i dont think ive ever seen non black mesh on gialla

customautomesh is black plastic mesh that is black throughout. so even IF it chips it will still be black. repainting mesh is a pita.

its expensive considering what youre getting. a piece or plastic, lol

yeah that is true too...When you said it was expensive i was thinking it over and is it 20 bucks for 2 or is it 20 bucks for 1?

hey calvin also in how would the double-sided tape affect the grill as in taking it out in the future im pretty sure the tape will b really stuck on to the bumper.

20 bucks for one rectangular black plastic mesh that you will then have to cut yourself (this is easy) to fit.

and i dont know what brand tape they gave you or how stick it is. but when you wanna take the grille just yank it off and clean up the sticky residue with goo off/goo gone/wd40
