Carbon Fiber Wrapped Grille

[legaru]

1. Remove internal grille structure, peel off chrome cause chrome sucks, sand down any remaining rib structure and fill voids with fiberglass patch and fiberglass bondo

 

2. Cut carbon fiber large enough to cover entire piece FROM THE INSIDE and fold over top and bottom

 

3. Pick up painted gutter guard at Home Depot

 

4. Cut mesh roughly to shape, Black or clear RTV OUTSIDE ON UNEXPOSED GRILLE AREA ONLY and smear some on the backside edges before it cures

 

5. Trim remaining grille edges with a Dremel tool so it looks clean, not like those others you see

 

6. Remove chrome from outer ring of emblem that was previously removed from structure of the stock grille. Polish center of emblem with plastic polish and attach flat aluminum hanging hooks, two, one on each side and hang thru loops in mesh grille (not shown, too dark to take picture of) however the absence of the chrome makes it look very smoooooth
