50110, pics the mesh grill on my talon
Posted by ajna_star, Jun-12-03 12:45 PM
took me about 3 hours & 8 pieces of mesh to get it perfect, so the mesh fit right and wasnt crimped....i used galvanised gutter guard and zip ties.... didnt take my bumper off, just worked around it... lemme know what u think

thanks, the only thing i dont like is the gap on the right(left of the picture) in the large center hole....

the gutter guard was about 2 inches too short, but really u cant notice it unless i point it out.

yeah i guess the pics arent that good but i used the exact same stuff you did. how did you use 8 pieces and still have a gap there? i used about 1 1/2 sheets. one full piece for the front. i filled in that gap with a little piece. then i cut up another one for the two side holes. i glued mine on there. i will get better pics today, my camera sucks sometimes.

i fucked up a bunch of pieces, trying to cut the right shape, and actually get it in there without crimping it

when you use the zip ties on it, can you tell that they are their from a distance? I'm thinking of doing thie to my 96 talon, but I don't want to see a bunch of zip ties on the bumper...

No possible way 2 C the zip ties, they're in the very back where even if U could C them... they still blend w/ the black/dark engine compartment. Go 4 it!

what kind of zip ties did u use? the garbage bag ties, or those thick plastic ones which you cant open up after you close them?
