Wheres the best place i can get the mesh i ordered installed? Or anyone perhaps? I Cant trust myself to safely take off my bumper nor do i have the glue and what not to accomplish the task. And how much $? Dont want to spend that much, but i need to get it done. Thanks

There's a guy in Sherman Oaks, his username is "soad". check him out, he does all types of work.

 

that dude lives right near me, ill hit him up, thanks

 

i would not recommend using glue/epoxy as suggested. use screws to hold it down. you won't be sorry.

 

i ordered the mounting bracket things that come with it, but i cant quite figure out what they do

 

are you talking about the wires? they want you to epoxy half the wire to the bumper, stick the mesh through the exposed half, then bend the wire down to hold it down.

it's not a very effective method, IMO. depending on the bumper you're using this for, i'd highly recommend using screws.

 

just use screws. no need to glue or epoxy anything.

 

im not quite sure how i could get screws to look good with a top secret bumper, any DIY's or anything?

 

DO not use epoxy. i tried it and it was nothing but a big mess

 

ive used epoxy.."bondo for this and have had no issues..if you choose this route..get some,i think its 18g house wiring cut it into 5in peices probably need about 7/8 pieces, epoxy "bondo" half the piece of wire let it dry for a day, it should work..there isnt a whole lot of resistance on mesh..i think screws are overkill..plus you have to hide them...just an opinion

 

so assuming i didn't go the epoxy route, how did you screw guys get them hidden?

 

most bumpers have small hard points that you can screw into - if you put the screws directly into the centers of those points they shouldn't really show. if they do, however, use small screws & washers, or paint the side of the screw that shows through the bumper.

 

Thats how mine was attached to the front. For the Kenstyle rear, 50/50 of Epoxy & Bondo was used to evenly fit the mesh over the curved openings.
