Hey guys, thought some of the 95/96's maybe interested in seeing this as it's very inexpensive and I think it cleans up the front end look. I know it's been done before and props goes to Blackcat for the product idea, but it will be new to some. Mesh grill look supplies: Gutter guard, silver paint and zap straps. I also removed the stock plate holder and trimmed down the plate. More pics on my web! thanks

 

Looks clean - not sure if trimming the plate is legal.. if that matters...

 

That does clean up the front end alot. did you use the existing grille?

 

Looks like you've been busy on the weekends!


I've seen a few rice rockets around here with license plates folded.

 

you should spray the gutter gaurd black, that would be hot!

 

Why the silver paint when gutter guard is also sold in silver, hope you used lots of clear coat. For some reason yours doesn't look as good as hundreds of others I've seen. It looks crooked near the bottom.

 

It's does originally come black, but I wanted a different to stock colour, I did go over the orignal grill, and yep I do need to work on the bottom some more but ran out of daylight

 

i think it looks good.. would this be difficult to do with a 97?

 

Its alot more work for the '97-'99 grills:

yes I love that look for the front, I have done that to my grill as well.

I didnt do the bumper as well thogh I left it as is. but your looks good especially with the stillen lip.

Sweet!

 

Looks good maxrb8. Just adjust the bottom one and i did the same thing to my plate till i got pulled over and had to get new plates. It was good while it lasted tho.

 

Looks pretty good...I'm not sure I would have trimmed the plate though, its not that it doesn't look good, its just that my plate has never bothered me.

 

I've seen few of them in person and they looked really ghetto. Maybe guys just did really poor job....?

 

as you said in your post, its not a new mod but you did remind me of it. i remember seeing the mod in the past but i just forgot about it. thanx for reminding me. this looks like something im gonna do in the next few days. i have the same color car as you, Black Emerald, and im glad it looks so hot. i think i may go with black tho. your car looks great man. :-)

 

ya, fix the bottom tho, man looks like sh*t...could definitely be just the pic or something, but a lot of the edges look bad/crooked....not trying to flame your hard work tho. GJ

yeap i have the home depot Racing grill for about 6 months or so... it looks really nice and clean, especially at night

 

mines cooler

 

Is that more than one layer of gutter guard I see there?

 

yeah that's 2 layers. I did that too but reverted back to just 1 layer because it became too damn hard to remove bugs, twigs etc from the grill.

 

lol i used to have that chicken wire, it looks mad ghetto in person, so i got the billet mesh from a body kit look ast sig

 

Oooh yeah! wow huuuge difference! billet mesh! Chicken wire! gutter guard! I bet people are stopping you in the streets saying " good thing you used billet mesh and not chicken wire! yup uk yup!"

Gutter guard is only 6" wide so they'd better be short chickens!

 

yeap...double layer

 

i did that while ago i like it but im not doin the lower openings on the front bumber...to much for my taste...but urs looks good...nice job

 

very nice

 

wtf? i was just making a statement, there really is a difference, and they use the mesh for part of the cage not a fence lol
