Modified 99' front Grill

[SteveSolara]

Hey guys, I decided to modify my grill. I cut out the middle part and put a mesh behind it, and painted the grill white.

I just ran into a problem where I put the mesh it shows the bottom portion of the Grill lock. I've been trying to figure out how to either make it flush or some way to hide it. I've tried putting the mesh in front of it but it looks weird. So, any suggestions, ideas? Thanks in advance

** Don't mind the bottom of my bumper it was painted grey so i was in the processing of removing the paint and trying to keep it all white. **

This is what it looked like when i painted it black.


This is what it looks like with the middle part taken out and then painted white.


This is what it like installed.

Cant you just cut it off with a dremel or something similar, sand down the rough edge, and re-paint?

[SteveSolara]

yeah i can, but thats what hold the bottom part of the grill in, other wise it will stick out. maybe i can hot glue it in but thats the last thing i want to do

[SolaraPete]

Ahhhh yes, you def dont want a floppy grille... i'd for sure use epoxy over hot glue - otherwise maybe some 3M 2sided tape if u dont want it to be permanent.

[SteveSolara]

Oh yeah forgot about 3M double side tape LOL. Thanks!!

actually hot glue clear would be better because the opoxy when dried is gonna be messy and hard to remove. Hot glue is some strong crap let me tell you...lol Get a cheapy gun kit at harbor frieght for less then 5 bucks. Either way its gonna be a beach cuttin it off without scarring it too bad. I'll be impressed if it comes out flawless.
