if your gonna hot glue it dont use the zip ties.....

they will just hold the grills out alittle more and it wont look flush


just scratch the back of the bumper up with some 80 grit or ruffer. just so the glue will have something to hold onto beter..
tho personaly i would us some epoxy instead of the hot glue... just cause epoxy will hold alot harder! so less flexing.... the hot glue MIGHT get forced loose after so many washes...

but i guess either way you can always just try the other if the hot glue doesnt hold.......

 

Should I paint the mesh or should I leave it the color it is?

 

i like the normal color it is. Maybe a coat of silver spray paint might look good. I dont really like red, yellow, etc. mesh. Just kind of looks like a desperate attempt to catch somebodies eye.

 

dito maybe to match its silver or chrome.....


just depends if you like it the way it is. and if it might rust........

 

Last night I tried to cut the mesh with tin snips and wire cutters and it didn't work that good at all.What is that best way to cut it any ideas?

 

ive always used a jigsaw with a fine steel cuting blade. just cut slow and it should go preaty smooth.

 

I am going to put the screen in Saturday.Thanks guys for the help.I will post pics Sat night on this post so check out my work.

 

These aren't the best pics but it make the car look alot better.I am going to paint it when I paint the car on the 11 of Nov.

i don't suggest hot glue i went down that path the best way i have been told is get some fiberglass resin and big paper clips and scuff the back of the kit first..
