How-to on mesh grill ?
Ok guys ...
How do you guys did the mesh grill mod ? Did you put the mesh on top of the plastic grill ? I did a mesh for my top sedan grill, but not sure if I done it right ! What I did is pulled my grill off, and cutted the mesh to fit on top of it. After that I tied it with some fishing wire.
Also, is your mesh a plastic one or metal one ?
Pics could be nice too... Especially of the top grill
!
Thanks

Here's a thread that has a few pics of Negatize's car. His mesh looks very nice and the pics might be of some help to you.

Here's some pics of mine. http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/sho...threadid=25397
I used aluminum gutter guard, and lashed it on with 14 gauge wire. It's painted white to match the rims.
If you're going to paint it at all, clear it too. I found that these damn Canadian winters take their toll on mesh quite easily.
Hope it helps!

Wingman, my mesh is on top of the stock ones, yes. The border you see I think looks nice!

!I didnt think about painting before tying it

I dont have any pics of the install but its pretty self explainitory:
Forgive the dent in the middle of the bumper my mom backed into the car with the blazer.
You can't really see the zip ties...but hey thats the idea right?
