i cut out the oem grille and somewhat flattened the stillen grille. and it no longer has the curve that other stillen grilles have. oh yeah, and the grille is powdercoated gunmetal, to match the rims that i no longer have.

 

how did u attach the grill tho?

 

i used the clips.

 

i used very small black zip ties. i drilled holes on the inner edges of the bumper just big enough to sneak the small zip ties through. because of the black on black the zip ties can hardly be seen. infact, most people never see them until i tell them that they are there. i think i used 6 or 8 evenly spaced out zip ties. the mesh fits tight against the inner bumper with no gaps at all.

vice86 is right about the home depot mesh material. it won't rust because it is aluminum but it will dull in appearance. other than that, it is decent stuff. maybe i should have cleared coated it. anyway, i ordered the wings west signature mesh grill to replace my current grill. i will probably attach it the same way to both my bumpers. i have a CF nismo replica on the way. i will run two bumpers, one for everyday driving and one for show. sorry i have no close up pics. but if you go to my 350zonline gallery (link below) there is at least one pic that if you enlarge it you could see that the zip ties are nowhere to be seen and the install looks clean.

 

that looks real nice. so u got that mesh at home depot? can u tell me what it is so i can find it? i'd be interested to see closer up pics of ties, and size of ties. thanks so much! im feeling better now..

 

onii: i am leaving right now but if you pm me your email i'll send you some pics later. i have them on disk. the mesh itself is called LATH mesh. it cost @$5 at home depot. the size of the sheet is 8ft long by 24inches wide.

 

Best I can recall install labor and materials cost $300.

Pic..front..whoops, mods delete pic if you need to, didn't realize I had saved this one...have another without watermark
