What did you find to be the best way for mounting the mesh? I put mesh grill in my bumper where the foglights are supposed to be and it was hard to mount those.

Much better now since you can't really see the foglights in the opening.

Heheh. I didnt secure them. They just stay in there with friction.... yeah yeah i know. Theyre gonna fall out. I dont see how to get zip ties in there on anything. I drove 50 miles so far and they havent moved an inch...

what I did was...

take a small/very tiny small drill bit and drill tiny holes in around the bumper opening and then get some 22 guage(I work for the phone company)wire and sewed it into the bumper and it works good...I put mesh in my fog light holes also...

The way we did it was measure the length and height. The taking a piece of grocery bag push it on the rounded parts. Its hard to explain, but its like making an etching of the round parts. Thats all you need a template of, the rest is just a straight line. Does that make any sence...?

Cuzz theirs a little ridge on the front side that you have to fit in just right too look better. Hard to explain, but just trust me on this one.

I'd be careful they might scratch your paint that way.
