i had this on my last car and it looked really nice, i also did it black, and i used thin black zip ties in the bottom and top of each post to hold it in place. you couldnt even see the ties when i was done
also, look for mesh gutter guard instead of chicken wire at a place like home depot, its about $2 per 18 inch sheet i believe. This post has been edited by SilvertopST: May 28, 2008 - 2:50 AM |

how can you cut, celica with the dremel, you must have very good skills.
If you paint it black, make it thick, after a few months it will chip, i have to repaint mine.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I'd like to do something like this too, but wonder how it would look to first take out the little posts (bars) in the bumper then put the mesh grill.

yeah the hole bumper needs to come of. You are joking right? I put one on my first 6gc years and years ago. Looked really ricey until I painted it black. Then I really liked it.

Mine's not that bad looking either, well IMO. I got this from one of the tuner stores in a Chinese mall (Pacific mall baby) I been wanting a mesh that looks like this , just waiting to buy some rims so it can match something Did you have to take the bumper off to install that ??? or did you just reach from the back ? front ? looks like a happy lil kid who just got braces! lol |
