recieved mesh sport grill today and installed...some problems...

[mikelebz]

hello everybody. I just recieved my mesh sport grill in the mail today and installed...some problems though. the mesh curls around and prevents the side things (excuse my generalizing language...I hope you all know what I am talking about) from fully going in, causing a gap on the sides and also prevents the two closer clips to not fully fit in. it is really annoying...I am thinking about just cutting the mesh around the back that is problematic causing all of this...has this been an issue for anyone else here/what did you do about it/what do you all suggest?
here are some pics

thanks,
Mike

there is nothing you can really do.. you wont get a perfect fit.. regardless of what you try.

have you got a aftermarket grill? is your fit off? can I see some pics of yours?

Eh, you bought that off Ebay if I remember right? That's what happens when you order off Ebay. Haha. What year is your car?

2005 Mazda 3 i

where else do people get their sports grill if not on ebay?

04-06 Mazda3 owners get theirs from PartPlaza. Can be painted to your car color also. Better quality obviously since it's not on Ebay.

Oh I understand. I just bought JDM Fogs off Ebay. They fit perfectly. But I did my research and found members here who bought the same ones before I bought them.
