ok, so i got the how to from jdmfan, but my question is this. Is there any way to do it without cutting the stock and using liquid nails. For example, aftermarket grills just clip in so why can't it be done with the crap from a hardware store.please help!TIA.

I think I know what your asking and I'd have to say that you want to make the cutouts because it will look better with only the metal mesh and no plastic behind it.

do aftermarket grills just go over the stock ones? i was under the impression that the stock ones were removed and the aftermarket ones used the existing clips from the stock grills. i want to know if it is possible to remove but salvage the stock grills and fabricate custom grills that will fit the existing clips so i don't have to glue anything? has anyone done this successfully? any help would be great. thanx.

Where exactly on the bumper are you talking about? Are you talking about both the upper and lower center grills or the fake brake ducts too? I dont know about the aftermarket grills...I did the same custom grill from jdmfan and mine turned out fine.

i was talking about the upper and lower. i have the oem fogs. i know street scene and grill craft make ones that supposedly just clip in or something. i didn't think an aftermarket company would have you trash your stock grills by cutting them out and what not. but anyway, do you have any tips on the install not provided by jdmfan? i'd like to see any pics you have as well.

2000e.b.p.si:

Grillcraft makes an entire replacement. To some it's worth the money. To others that like to make their own CAI, paint their valve cover, etc This is for them. It's a cheaper way to get a Grillcraft type grill.

You end up taking out the stock plastic mesh on the stock grill piece and replacing it with the metal mesh, with your choice of color after painting it.

Fuck that...I made grills for my first bumper and although it came out nice, the grill got beat up HARDCORE...and looked like ass...use the money for the grill on something worthwhile...like a pack of gum!
