tails look good, i like those wheels too now just a drop would set it off, also that static cling tint is kinda hard to work with. i used a heat gun to help that tint bend around all the curves.

the mesh is sandwiched between the outer part of the plastic.... basically i put the grille down and molded the plastic over it.... so the mesh grille is built into the whole grille... it cant be removed...

are you talkin about the whole grille..... it still uses the oem holes and screws and clips and everything... the mounting the is the same as stock one since it is the oem one... i just modified the front of it and added more plastic and such.... hah i should sell some of these.... if anyone wants to get rid of their stock one and let me work on it... i have another idea in mind

the chrome would have to be removed because the plastic can't fuse with the chrome... i tried sanding the chrome but it was impossible even with 36 grit sand paper... thats where i messed up.. i didnt fully remove the chrome and i might have issues later on....

the chrome comes off in bleach...scratch it up and put the grill in a tray with some bleach.
