Grills from Home Depot

I know that they sell galvinized gutter grills at Home depot and some members have put them over their existing upper grills. I was wondering if anyone had any directions or pics would be helpful for an amatuer like me. Also do you cut around the nissan emblem?

Thanks in advance for any help members.

upper grill?
i havent seen anyone put them on their upper grill
the lower valence yes . but not the upper grill

for lower valence is very easy..
you basically pull out the pins under the bumer slide the grill in the valence and zip tie it to those virtual things.

He's talking about the strips, which can also be found on eBay for $20.

irish44j has the Home Depot versions on his car that he recently made. Here is the thread and I believe he has instructions on his webpage as well...

you buy stuko mesh in about a 4x6 foot piece and then cut out the grill and bend it over the old grill. you then get it to fit into the front of the car. i made mine and it took about an hour, but it is not hard, all you have to do is work with it. the gutter mesh is not bug enough.

I did the same thing over 2 years ago, but unlike irish44j, I placed the grille pieces out in front instead of from behind.

Here is a pic


Check my homepage for more pics.
