ya i was at napa and ace today and decided to go with the plastic epoxy.. was going to by some clips at napa but decided i could use any kind of wire..

worked on it today having problems getting the sides evened out

i like the left side of the photo looks (right side of car) but just cant seem to get them evened out add a little here and there sand it down and still nothing gonna take some time.. prolly just say f it close enough haha

Would silicon work for holding the mesh? Thats what I used as a seal on my headlights. It flexes good but would it hold tight? And to make it even try making a mold of the shape of good side. flip it over and put it in the other. sand it out until it fits right. That way it is same on both sides and your not eyeballing it.

im sure it would hold just fine.. just bought the ABS/aluminum epoxy dont want to lose the mesh driving down the highway

and that is a great idea ill have to try that tomorrow before i go to work,, working graves this week so will have a lil time before work to work on it.. it is looking alot better then i had expected

thank you for your input very helpful

alright its been a minute since ive been on here but i got it painted except i still gotta repaint the bottom lip black, still trying to figure out how to get the mesh in there guessing im going to have to take the bumper off due the piece of black styrofoam stuff in the way.. doesnt look like to much fun to take off the bumper havent really looked that much into it yet... didnt quite get the sides evened out but gave up becuz im getting a body kit anyways... but figured id show the progress









oh and my new HIDNATION HID's LOVE THEM haha, brighter then the stock highs had to adjust them down becuz ppl were flashing there brights at me..
