That looks pretty tyte. U put it behind the original grill. Did u have to remove the bumper for that? I wanna put the mesh grill in FRONT of the original one though. What color is ur car btw, is that eucalyptus green pearl? Looks better than the ones i've seen haha.. maybe its the sunlight =-P but a prelude's a prelude and its always tyte

THANKS!

- No removal of bumber needed. Just slid a rectangle piece behind the bumper with the hood up. held it down with zip ties

Yes it is Eucalyptus green. I used 5 layers of Liquid Glass on the car. It is bad ass..The more you put the better it looks!

You can also use First Finish which is the same type of 'stuff'.

I have been through many waxes/polishes etc.. this is the best. And NO there is no paint cracking or peeling because it is a polymer based wax.

I just received my grill last week. I ordered it off of ebay. It cost me $35 + $15 for shipping. I didn't think that was too bad. I didn't install it yet though. It came with instructions, i didn't really read it yet but i know i have to take out the stock grill which isn't too hard.

prelude_sh_vtec · 02-12-2002, 05:44 PM

I put it in my windows and it freed up some ponies

BoYgUaN · 02-12-2002, 05:53 PM

hmm take out stock grill? the lower one is apart of the bumper. i think you just put it infront of it

I made a pretty cool grill from Home Depot... it's pretty cool I wish I could show you guys. Anyone with a Digicam wanna take a quick snap of my car? I live in OC if someone wants to meet up. It cost about 10 bucks though for the grill sheet... its a grid of squares that you can angle like diamonds that's about 1/2 inch in depth. You can paint it which cost another 3-5 bucks. Looks pretty cool damn it I need to take pictures.

I did mine ....I did all 4 spaces. Although i went above and beyond with the grills and whats behind them. But i'm interested to know what you guys think. Let me know.

white-chocolate · 02-13-2002, 09:37 AM

would it look a little ridiculous if i put mesh grill where those 2 black plastic pieces are right under the front bumper blinkers? i ask because in the middle of the bumper theres those plastic bars and it would look bad with mesh there
