chrome mesh install

Does anyone know how to actually attach the mesh to the car? The package I got just had the mesh in it, and I don't know how to get it to stay in the grill....please help me

I have some mesh in the bottom of my bumper and used some thin wire to hold it on. I just wrap it around and twist the end together. Doesn't look to good up close but you can't see if from a few feet away. Its the only way I could find.

I used twist ties!! The same thing that comes on bread.
You can go to Wal-Mart or supermarket and get it. It comes
in a roll, all I did was to cut the paper off of it and then you have
a fine wire. If you tie it side to side it want show as bad up close.
My friends asked me know I got it to stay on!!!

Head out to Wal Mart

You can get a roll of wire, one size down from 25 gauge and it will be strong enough to hold the mesh but you will not be able to see it. The wire is finer than the actual mesh.

Good luck!
