Need Lower Mesh Grill DIY

N54B30A · 03-07-2011, 11:57 AM

Just put in my black grill and the lower mesh grill is killing the look. I need a DIY and was wondering what the best way to paint it was or if their is some replacement that isnt too expensive or hard to install, thanks.

No, ive seen that one before was wondering if there is an easier way to do it and is there a way to take out the lower grill instead of just painting it there?

Leaving it in place is the easiest way I've seen it done. You can shimmy the side grille off but the lager center can only be taken off by removing the bumper.

Just tried it on mine. I've got an aero lip on it so it will make it a tight fit coming out, but I was able to get a couple fasteners loose as a test. Looks like I have my car project for this weekend!
