#6304, "trick for installing grilles"


          

alot of u guys may already know this.
a guy at streetweapons told me that they attach them by putting a blob of bondo on the back side of the bumper and putting a paper clip in it with part of it pointing up then just slide the grille on and bend them over. sounds like a good way to me. do anyone else have a different way of doing this ??

yeah i used zip ties too, but didnt drill any holes yet. i may have to to get the grill on the outside holes of my 95 front, but the zip ties worked great, it's just a little more complicated to find a good spot to attatch it too if you dont drill the holes emoji

I remopved my entire bumper. And on the 97 mitsu eclipse bumper there are maybe seven bolts on the very bottom that hold the bumper to the "plastic shit" that is normally inside the center hole. I removed the black "plastic shit" therefore not needing the left over holes. I ziptied the mesh to the holes along with 2 holes which are already on the upper part of the inside of the bumper. For the side vents, there arent any holes. But from the inside, you can wrap the mesh around the hole and I just used duct tape and taped the edges around the vents. Looks good, cant see any zipties.

(Picture doesnt reflect mesh)

I used epoxy to put the grills in by battle-z bumper. I took the putty type epoxy and put it around the inside where the grill went, put the grill on top of it, then I ran a bead of the liquid type epoxy around the front and the back.
