Hey, anybody know how to change the gill like grill inserts to the mesh ones (I think CooB had it done to his)? The dealer sells this as a $300 dollar option!!!!

Thanks guys

 

Moving to General. How To Forums are set up to only have installs not questions.

 

Yes I have them. I haven't really looked at them though.

I'll take a look at them tonight and see if I can tell how they are put in.

Hey Steve, even if you could take a picture from the back (engine bay out towards the bumper) and a close up for the grill itself...that would be awesome.

 

hey, I was looking at the grill of my ralliart the other day and it looks like each one is held in by two white nylon rivets that look like they could be easily popped out from underneath. I haven't tried it though, it was just my inital impression. Thats definitely a first to go for me. I think $300 sounds a tad expensive for mesh inserts. I got me some chicken wire and a can 'o rustoleum paint. Total cost $7. I'm just kiddin, but It seems like one could make something like that.

 

Oh totally! There is no way in hell i'd pay that much for a small mesh insert at that!

And your probably not that far off on the price either man.

 

Hey man. Sorry I took so long to get you some pics.

The grill is held in by rivets. Yes it is damn expensive for a little bit of mesh....I think the price is somewhere around $310 CAD.

wow!! too expensive. I think ill just try to make them my self or somethin cuz $310 for some mesh is just not worth it.

 

Don't forget that they are talking about Canadian Dollars...not US

 

Actually, our dollar is getting so strong lately, the conversion isn't that much...

$310 CDN right now is $236 USD - and I wouldn't spend that on what I can buy and make from Home Depot.

 

i pop the rivets on top, but how do you actually pull out the grill?

thanks

Or....more importantly...how do you attach the mest to the housing??

 

coob: I think that the inserts on you car might be in wrong, there shouldn't be gap like that on the bottom. Did you make sure the clips went into place?

 

I believe the dealership did his.
