#41507, "Securing mesh to 98 Talon Stock bumper?"


          

How can I secure some mesh grill to a stock 98 talon bumper? the model i have didn't come w/ foglights so I can secure it to that either. I know you can use screws and drill into the bumper to secure it, but I really don't wanna do that. Any ideas? TIA. Hektik.

Your best bet is to drill the smallest holes possible and use color matching (or similar if that's not possible) ties on it. That's the norm. I guess you could get some of those adhesive backed hooks at Craftmart and put them inside the bumper cover and tie to that, but that's getting pretty ghetto imo. emoji

Honestly....I used string and duct tape!!! It held up for as long as my bumper on - over a year!!! It was crazy how good it worked, how straight it stayed and you couldn't see it - plus I didn't have to drill. All I did was take some string, tie it around the mesh at the very top, then tape the string onto the back side of the bumper....hahah I know it sounds ricey as hell but you couldn't tell and it worked.

Your best bet would be to take off the front bumper, then you can kinda mold the grill around the holes and then fiberglass it on or glue it on.

I didn't have to use anything to hold mine in place. I bought a big sheet of mesh that has something to do with drywall, not sure what it is called, and cut it to fit pretty tight on the inside of the bumper. Then I fed it through the middle hole around to the sides. Since I cut it to fit tight, it doesn't move around at all.

I used fiberglass resin to hold mine in on the sides wher4e
the foglights go. Just bent it up around the bumper and
glassed it in.
