i know, the problem is that i ran over a whole tire on the highway while going 60mph. the incident broke my bumper and ripped off the front bottom grill. it also warped my FMIC....::no:: :| :(.

yeah... $700 you could almost fix it yourself.. not really worth it..

[Accord Man]

Then when you add up the premiums...


not worth.

[VicPreist]

dude, i attempted this in the beggining of the summer, an it turned out greaat, but the grille i used was mere chicken wire fencing. i really like urs an also like the kind u see on most body kits (the dimond ish), but i cant figure out where to buy it. home depo told me like they may be able to special order it, but thats a pain in my ass! anyy suggestions.

go to sears hardware. they have those patio door grills. it should be around the door and window section. mine is a 3/8's mesh. it comes with an aluminum frame that can be easily removed. it cost around $15. it's the same exact thing that wings west sells for $20 a foot......

[VicPreist]

hells yeah, thanks a bunch

try lowes, or a local hardware store. the stuff i got was called gutter gaurd i think, be careful when you cut the shiit cause it cut my hands to hell when i was making it

[KwikR6]

DOesn't APC just make a grille insert. or somthing that goes in behind the bumper.????? Looks just like that?

[VicPreist]

nahh man, that apc shit is crap, and its expensive as hell. i tihnk the upper grille costs liek 70 bucks an the lower is liek 120. its much much cheaper to do it urself, and it will look a lot more custom.

i do not have any pictures during the process. just read the link and visualize it.......it's really easy and it will make more sense once u take apart the top section....

[DJZVTEC02]
