Tired of That old factory grill...

[Soldier777]

Well for the low price $7.95 it can be yours. lol

My new grill took little more work than i thought it would but turned out nice.

Looks good. What's it made out of?

 

[Soldier777]

I got it at lowes. Its a aluminum mesh with diamond shape. I think you put it down when your tiling. I got a 8x4 sheet for $8 and used snips to cut it. Shot some screws in a few places to hold it down.

It has a "medieval chain mail" look to it. Looks as good if not better than some high priced billet grilles I've seen. Good work!

 

[Soldier777]

Ya it definitely took more work than expected. I still have to do the lower bumper and the the hood scoops. I am also still debating if I should paint it black.

 

[panda24619]

Hmmmmm. I might wanna do that now. I keep looking for a cheap grill. I'm going to do this now and paint it black. Or maybe find something like that and do that. I rather make my own stuff then pay hundreds.

I rather make my own stuff then pay hundreds.

couldn't agree more.

Completely agree with you guys, especially being a broke college kid. Its not only cheaper, but nobody else has the exact same thing, and I appreciate it more after I'm done, instead of some guy just paying lots of money and throwing it on.

 

[Soldier777]

I love the feeling that you did it your self ... like you said no one else has it cause you did it. Such a great feeling

Usually, people just use gutter mesh, also from HD or Lowes. Really, any of the various mesh materials available there would work, depending how big you want the spacing.

Looks pretty good and fits the truck well.

Saw that stuff the other day on a job site but thought it would be to flimsy for such a big opening. Have any pics of the install?

 

[Soldier777]

if a big enough rock hit it, it would definitely dent it. But I am getting a prerunner bar and 2 7.2" lights so i will cover most of it up once that's on. Plus if it gets messed up i can just replace very easily. I don't have any pics of the install only final pics. When I do my prerunner i will take a lot of pics.

 

[AaronLG]

I'm just wondering where and how you screwed it in. Can you take some close up pics?

 

[Soldier777]

ya I will. I will try and show most of the places I shot a screw in. Give me a day or so I will get you some pics

 

[walnuts4x4]

looks good... I used similar stuff on my old neon... in my wanna be racer phase...lol

 

[Soldier777]

Hey don't hate I want to be a racer just now in a big suv

 

[walnuts4x4]

hey I got another neon.... but this one is for MPGs....lol

 

[panda24619]

you doing a full prerunner bumper? or just one like nuts?

I am copying Walnuts unfortunately but the price for the bar and lights was just too good to pass up.
