Does anyone know if anyone sells a grill for a '95 max that uses the same stuff grillcraft uses on its grilles? I want that mesh stuff not the chrome stuff uses on the billet grills that trenz or godfathercustoms.com uses. Or if anyone has made it for themselves, how did u install it and whatever.

 

or...

does anyone know how they cut out the middle part of the lower grill so that it looks like one big *** inlet?

know what I mean?

 

I have made one myself you can get plain mesh from any where. I used airconditioner filter, Lowes,Homedepot,ETC,ECT, Look at my page click on at the bottom of my sig. Let me know

 

How did you take the bumper off? Is it possible to just take of the bumper cover to install the grill?

 

I did it! I used rain gutter gaurd from Home Depot, about $1.25 a sheet, and I took off my bumper cover and fiberglassed it on the backside.

 

NOTE this is a very aggrevating job! Pop the grill out between the headlights and unsrew the bolts from there. Then Take the fender wells apart and there should be a bout 4 bolts that hold the bumper to the fender. And the bolts under the bottom where the plastic guard is and the bumper just comes off. I really don't remember much,I did this about Jan. of this year. It can be done,what kind of fab skills do you have? It is better to take the bumper off so you can work on it better. Again if I can help some more let me know.

 

There are a few bolts, I think 4, and two clips that are underneath the grill. You have to remove the grill, 95-96 is four bolts, 97-99 are clips-ins. Then there are three bolts on each side connecting the bumper cover to the fender, and you don't have to take the fender-well completely apart. The only side you have to do is the passenger side, and then you only have to be able to pull the fender-well out far enough so you can reach the top and middle bolts on the passenger side. That is due to the non-existant clearance from the windshield washer container. The driver side is clear, and you don't have to remove the fender well. Then, along the bottom in the front where the splash gaurd connects to the bumper cover. Thats it!

 

How did you attach the wire mesh to the bumper? Did you have to drill any holes in the bumper and where is the best place to drill them? Also, how long did it take you to do just the bottom part?

Thanks,
Nathan

Slickismax used fiberglass. I have used a hot glue stick. Or a very stong adhesive that will resist roads and everyday driving. It took me about 2 hours,on the bottom valance. Then when I added the other piece in the grill it did not take long go to to my page on page 4 and see. I cut 2 pieces and left a little notch out for my hood release latch, very aggrevating but worth it though. You have to cut it just right so you can't see any stopping points I used 4 pieces in all and you cannot tell each piece. Be patient and it will work.
