i have been using the search button for like 3 days looking for the grille mod people are doing and all i can find is this
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ght=grille+mod

and all it says is "edited"
has anyone done this mod that can help me out with what to do?

 

The grill mod write up was done by Badseed. He now does them and took the DIY post down. If you already have the bottom grill and chrome piece he will do it for 30 dollars. If you dont then you will need to pay him I believe 80 doallars.

 

you have any idea what area he lives in?

 

His exact name on the forum is badseed305. He is located in Florida

 

the thing is i wanted to do it my self
has anyone else made a DIY for this mod?

 

It's a matter of trimming the bottom grille to the shape of the top one and then heating it (in an oven I think) so it becomes soft enough to bend to the contours of the top grille area.

 

thanks i may try this sometime soon

 

What are you doing for the bottom grille? OEM (style) fogs?

 

i think im going to leave the bottom one like it is (without fogs)and try the grille mod on the top

 

yep i did this mod... i just gotta fix it in the spring. use double sided tape to get the chrome piece on the bumper and zip ties for the grille to the chrome piece

 

do you by any chance have pictures of this?

 

You don't have to heat up the grille at all!

It's a very easy mod to do. Just trim the extra bottom grille to shape, use double-sided 3M tape to attach to chrome trim, pop trim and grille back in place.

if you need help once you get the spare grille, PM or AIM me...i'll help you out.

 

This mod is easy to do. I just can't provide a DIY because I'm already done with it and I didn't take pictures when I was doing it. Just be creative and you'll make this mod easy for you too. :D

 

Same here. I did it at 3am, going on about 4 hours of sleep, and still managed to get it done WITHOUT the DIY.

 

well im not going to be doing this anytime soon
i wrecked my car pretty bad
i think its totaled =[[

 

That's sad to hear. Good thing you're fine.

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are ok.
