Hello everyone
I came accross some Aluminium material to replace those plastic grill on bumper..is anyone know the DIY to replace those.
I saw some DIY for the Grill but cant find for lower one.
Many thanks

 

It really depends on which ones you got, you might have to dremel out the factory plastic

 

I had this same question. I hated how the upper didnt match the lower after getting my Data grill so I bought metal gutter guard from home depot, cut it to size, painted it gloss black. Now I need to know if i have to dremel out the lower grills. Any help anyone? Any other way?

 

Nope. Dremel is the only way sir.

 

Damm. Guess the bumper is comin off tomorrow. Im sure Ill figure it out when I take the bumper off but whats the best way to attach it? The new mesh I got is metal so I dont trust 3M tape. Any suggestions?

 

You're gonna regret using metal for those grilles when the paint starts chipping off in a week.

 

Speaking from experience? Will a few extra coats of clear protect it from this problem?

 

Clear coat may offer additional protection from chips but it's just a matter of time. Lots of small debris gets kicked up and onto those lower grilles. Even with the clear coat, I don't give it more than a couple of months. That is unless it's a low-mileage weekend car. I used customautomesh but those guys are no longer around. It was nice because it was plastic. So, if it got chipped, it would still show black. Looked like this:

 

Well thanks for the heads up. I realized this possibility but I hate the vulnerability of flimsy plastic. I guess Ill shop around for more plastic before the final install. If I dont find anything, I might just try my luck with these metal ones for a while. Car doesnt hardly move in the winter so we'll see...

 

just go to home depot foo

 

dam love that lower grill...looks clean as hell
