I received my bumper without the grill back in February. I installed a CustomAutoMesh myself.

Damn, that's a sweet looking bumper. I saw Accorfreak's KZ bumper, yesterday at a meet. It looks even better in person.

Yeah I saw it yesterday too. Bumper does look good but it really needs something to fill that large opening

I ordered mine a back during the group buy too, and the auto body shop has been waiting on the grill for a while now (I'm getting a bunch of stuff done I want to do it all at once). Has anybody gotten theirs yet?

Black chrome? That should definitely look amazing.

Install wasn't bad. Drew sent out a GReddy kit, so it was oversized for me so I could make it fit the Kuruma bumper. I just cut off some of the mesh to make it have about 2 inches of extra mesh hanging over the grill openings. When you use Epoxy to glue down the wires that you tie down the mesh with, make sure you sand away the urethane so it's not too smooth. I installed applied the epoxy without sanding and the wires fell right off when I applied the least amount of pressure. I redid the epoxy after sanding down the areas where I applied the epoxy...not one of the wires have fell off since.

Hey 98intrigue,

What kind of epoxy did you use? I actually used real short metal screws and washers to attach mine. It is holding on real tight but I might want to try the epoxy thing if I want to take off and put on different grills after I get the chroming done...
