How did you do it? Just take a hacksaw to it or what? I'm putting in my mesh grill tonight and was wondering. Thanks

I used a saw-zaw (I think that is how you spell it)! I just laid the blade down flat against the bumper, and cut it.
BTW, was you at Princeton this weekend. I don't think that I seen you.

Sorry to hear about that man. I hope that she gets better.
Have you ever been to the track at Bristol? I am going tomorrow night. If you think that you would be interested in going, then let me know, and I will meet you somewhere.

i used my dremel with the smallest drill bit that would fit in to cut the majority of the teeth out... then i fine cut it w/a razor blade and did that at an angle so that you can't see the unpainted parts... you can kinda see in my sig but i'll get a better pic tomorrow in the sun...
i think the font looks much better w/out the teeth...

yeah but arent those "teeth" shaped like a U and hollow...not solid? so youll have some U shaped places in the top and bottom of the opening when you cut these out right?

"you mean that black plastic shit where foglamps should be? oh, i used a drill on the two screws to remove them (screws were rusted in there solid)"
No they are talking about the "teeth" on the eclipse bumper. There are about 3 verticle pieces of plastic and one that goes horzontal with the ground.
But I know exactly what your talking about with the foglams. Last weekend silvernt, seniess, michael rs, and babyeclipse helped us with ours. Looks so much better imo.
Also if you have the 95-96 :) bumper, you can take the black pieces off of the teeth and underneath them is your factory paint and it looks really good. The black pieces are removed by grabbing the very back (where the U ends) and peeling them off. Ask silvernt, he liked it:thumbsup. I did his for him since he did our 30hp foglight piece thingy removal mod.
