Grill help

- Thu Aug 05, 2010 7:54 pm #207571 I'm trying to put mesh in the grill on my coupe and I'm wondering the best way to go about that.

I'm not sure if I could bend the mesh around inside the bumper cover and glue or tape it without bending up the rest.

Orr glue it where it would contact the cover from behind after the stock grill is cut out, but that might leave its position a little precarious.

I could leave the stock grill on and glue it to the front of that, but I don't know if that'll look cheese, being able to see through.

A buddy of mine bought an ek with a mesh grill in it but it was mesh that was actually manufactured to be a grill in an ek.

Honestly leave the stock grill in and do what you're going to do with the 'mesh'... That way you can just take the wire off and be back to normal. You'll probably decide it looks horrible and regret cutting the stock grill out.

Not trying to trash your Idea just trying to help you out.

But agree with the others just don't bother. :thumb:

- Tue Aug 10, 2010 8:26 pm #208361 I bought a sheet of it. And sorry to disappoint, but I'm going to do it. I don't really have a strong desire to be like everyone else. It's not like I'm trying to modify a ZR1 or a Shelby--It's a Civic.

I bought a sheet that's 5' x1'. It's small black mesh. I was never too excited about the grills in Civics to begin, so I want to try for a change and not anticipate failure.

I'm aware of the zip tie method, but I'm trying for as clean of a look as possible. The plan, at the very least, is to start small with one of the fog light holes and use the knowledge gained from that to do the rest.
