if you can take the front of your car off, you can do this....

1. take bumper off
2. cover a hole (on the inside)with white paper and rub edge will crayon to make a pattern...repeat for other three holes
3. cut paper pattern out
4. lay pattern on material and give yourself 1/2" to 1" extra all the way around
5. buy a bunch of zip tie blocks, zip ties, and a heavy duty Epoxy
6. glue the zip tie blocks down...probably 5-6 per hole some over lap (especially in the middle)
7. let set over night
8. place material in each hole, hook zip ties through the material onto zip tie block, repeat for other three
9. put bumper back on
10. drink heavy



I use gutter guard , the stuff that comes in 2ft or so sections...it seemed to be a thicker ga. than the roll crap.

If i had to do it again i would find something cool from a metal supplier...better quality too

When I was working in autobody I've seen alot of riveting and Speedgrip (semi poly appoxy) <---- good stuff.. drys harder and more durable then the Urethane.

the epoxy works really well... i mean, i put the grill on in 2002 or 03 and the zip tie blocks are still there. just rough the area up and clean it really well before applying...let sit over night. do rush it, or you end up doing it again.
