Grille Mesh...

[bambam-85382]

Where is the best place to get the mesh for grilles? I know Wings West offers some, but I am not sure of the price or where to get it.

Thanks

(hi) welcome....

the one that wings west sells come attached to their front bumper. im not sure if you can get it seperately, but even if you can, why? the stock lower grill looks the best.

what did you install in your autoexe grille? I have one, but I don't have any insert.

i cut and installed my grill myself, looked good for about 2 months then started to rust on the spots i cut it, looked like crap!

protejay5 used a stock lower grill from mazda that he cut to fit the DGM grill. $15 with hand tools

 

[bambam-85382]

$15? is that from the dealer of a juck yard?
that sounds like the best way to go.

Mine was $40 from the local dealer. It was in stock and I didn't feel like waiting.

$40?!?! wow - thats a ripoff. my dealer sells it to me pretty cheap.

That sounds about right.

I've always been partial to the mesh that comes with the AutoExe/DGM grille, but to each their own.

I had my grille powder coated to avoid rusting. Still looking good after several months.

how is everyone attaching the grille to the frame? mine does not have any provisions for this.

Hey man,

I did the same thing. Dremel the lower grill to fit the top. Used epoxy putty and it's been holding for months and months....

here's the How To:

I've done mine the same, and used 3M 5lb double sided tape and some silicone glue. I've had it on now for almost 1 year in October.

i used the stock lower grill cost me around 29$ from the dealer...

i used hot glue and JB weld to hold it and a dremel to cut it.... very easy job.
looks great IMO
