I have read that some people use paper clips? What are they attatching the paper clips to? I have also read that others use black silicone. I already have my mesh grille and want to know the best way to install it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I ended up useing the same goop to cement mine in place. I will do the grills soon. I also did the front top grill with Elky mesh though I plan to redo it as the is a slight gap at the bottom that I don't like. Are you going to do a different top grill. If so and you want some pics pm me and I can show you what I did. We really should meet up since you aren't to far from me. We could do the grills together.

Is it similar to silicone? I haven't installed my fogs yet....still have to get bumper painted....I just want to prepare myself for the mesh grille install. I'm assuming you just cut the mesh a little larger that the grille opening....fold it over from the inside and then use your adhesive....is this correct?
