has anyone replaced the two undergrilles?

[thechronic]

you know the two little spaces underneath the main grills that has the harder plastic on them with the diamond design? well one of my cracked and so i was wondering if anyone has replaced the mesh on them with a custom mesh? or how would i go about doing that?

[thechronic]

[zozoka1212]

yes yes i can see that they look good, but what im asking is if anyone on here has done it and if so, how and where did you get the mesh and parts for it?

[Gimli G35]

For a STOCK Bumper? or a Aftermarket? , if its stock .. its just going to look a little the same

What that picture shoes is a Gailla or Gialla Grill which doesnt have mesh , and an aftermarket bumper that doesnt have mesh either, so he can use the same for both

with the stock one , unless your replacing the grill also .. it wont match

[thechronic]

ok i replaced the grille with a grille just like the one in the picture. and it is a stock bumper

[Gimli G35]

ahh ok , then get the same mesh and put it on , im unsure how most people mount their mesh ,

and take pics!

[thechronic]

ya i guess that was my main question, what is the best way to remove the stock mesh and put in the custom mesh?

but yes i will definitely take pics once i get this figured out

[Gimli G35]

just go under the car and look at the stock mesh , if there are any brackets \ latches .. just try to use those, if you cant , then use an adhesive that drys pretty fast and is very very secure

or screws ,,

[thechronic]

ya i looked into that like a week ago and didnt find any screws, it just looks like its glued on around the edges

[Gimli G35]

you can screw it yourself, but i dont recommend it unless you are sure you wont punch a hole threw the bumper

[thechronic]

ya that definitely wouldnt be my first choice haha

[Gimli G35]

just scape the bumper or make little ridges and then apply your adhesive.. and hope it stays for a while , or at least you dont go too fast and hit a small object

[thechronic]

hahah youre scaring me

[Gimli G35]

hahahha, only reason im saying it because i had it happen i was ricer hunting and hit something , i think it was a squirrel or a chipmunk that jumped in front of the car, i think i caught it in mid air too

3M Acryllic adhesive tape. Use the primer for it as well. It will stay in place. I did that on my Maxima, and it worked excellent. You can buy both at a body shop supply store.

I was hoping to find a set of the undergrilles for my '07, but haven't found any that appeal to me... If you find ones you like and install, be sure to post pics as I keep looking for these myself...

[thechronic]

alright, sounds good, but how do yall suggest going about removing the stock ones?

[thechronic]

Good alternative to grilles.

Im replacing mine tomorrow.. ordered upper and lower billet grills from T-Rex.

I've never replaced grills before, is it a simple project? Im a girl and for some reason my guy friends doubt my skills and dont think I would be able to do it.

[fatire_mtb]

I didn't replace them so much as cover them up. The instructions for the installation of the billett grilles that I have were nothing more than a couple of crappy little bolts on the back of the grill that I guess in theory are supposed to actually go through the existing honeycomb grill. I said fudge all that and used black zip ties from the backside brackets of the new grilles to the existing honeycomb grill. I used 10-12 zip ties on each grille and they haven't moved or come loose at all.

[thechronic]

yea see im honestly not a huge fan of the billet grilles, so i was wodnering if anyone has put a different type of meshlike material in there
