I should get a percentage for naming your mesh and helping business with my photoshopped pic ...

Snipey I know the photoshop could be better. Stazi's pic is way under-exposed and that's the best I could do without spending half the day on it. I'm sure you'll see some good pics once ppl start getting their grilles back.

These pics are weak but they are the best i can do for now. Also i didn't put the front lower one on due to the 5 degree weather here. But here's an idea. I love them!

Stazi,
When you fit the grills to slide into the tabs, what do you use to secure them to make sure they don't come loose. I installed the back grill and had to make a few cuts for it to fit all the tabs... Just curious what would be recommended to use.
Thanks,

Like I told Rawbert, a good trick it to spray the bumper support behind the grill with some matte black spray paint so you don't see it from behind the oval grill. Also the tabs that hold the mesh need a little trimming to make it all fit good, a dremel goes through tem like butter. On the rear, only the bottom tabs need trimming (i.e. you need to thin them out a little) which is evident when you lay up the mesh and see where it needs trimming. It's better to trim the tabs than the mesh otherwise you will mesh up the mesh and show missing bits of mesh, which will look sh!tty.
Also another tip is that when you do the front lower, take out the splash guard to insert - then start from the middle and work outwards. ensure the grill is centered and then line up the tabs and push on the mesh. You'll see which tabs need trimming. Work slow - measure twice, cut once.

I have 5 kits which I am sneding out today those are:
Lon Howell
Suriel R
Paul Andrukaiatis
Zack V
Austin Krumpelman (if you want to pick yours up, let me know)

The remaining 5, aside from Red Ryders will go out in the next day or 2. Red Ryder's is still soaking in stinky acid!

Damnit, i cut the mesh itself to fit to the tabs! Oh well you can't tell it's the back one... So stazi, the tabs themselves should be all we need to keep these in place. Also would it be benificial to clear coat the grilles or no?

It's up to you. Although you can always just pop out the mesh once a year and buff it with a Scotch-Pad to bring it back to a nice shine. I personally wouldn't paint it with anything.

What time?

PM me and let me know. I want to hit the gym, but we can work out a time either before or after that. Either way will work.
