Looks great i really like it

 

Nope this isn't the drywall mesh. I actually used gutter-guard. I like it better because it seems to be a little stiffer and this mesh is a flat surface, not jagged like the drywall mesh. I scotchbrited the surface to help the paint stick as best as I could. Haven't had a problem with chipping yet (knock on wood!!) but I am catching alot of huge a$$ bugs!

 

what kind of epoxy did you use?

 

it is an epoxy that is used like a contact adhesive. It is called "Welder". I bought it at Lowe's. It worked awesome and it dries clear, so any oops' don't show that much, and it can be cleaned up with paint thinner.

 

i did this



this only took me about an hour

 

Looks pretty good man. What did you use?

 

very nice, looks like the same material as mine, although I thought the 5 hours i spent on mine was alot!

 

Took me about 5 hours for mine also. But I did mine with little space. I was expecting mine to be easier but after they were sitting on my floor ...i had to put them on. ha.

 

i used gutter gaurd from home depot for $7

 

how did you do the lower grille?

 

Yeah that is what I used. You really can't beat it for a DIY mesh grill. Just takes some patience.

 

im all for it, but i got foglights...so bottom grill would look ___.

 

^ not if the fog lights go behind the bottom/side covers. I would have done that if i didnt do it w/o them the first time.

 

looks nice. i like it, trd is a nice touch

 

Well, I will be remaking my grill. My car met and oak tree a couple of weeks ago.
So when I get it back, maybe this time I will do a DIY on how to make a grill like this. It isn't really that hard, just takes time and patience.

 

Looks great...Did you do the bottom side inserts to? cant really tell from the pics
