    Custom Bumper Cover Grill - My Suggestions

    Some of you already know that I needed to replace my bumper.
    As I was in the process of painting my bumper cover I decided to improve the grill on the bumper. After cutting out the plastic mesh, I cut out the fake bottom section of the grill.
    My theory is I've almost doubled the amount of ambient air through the grill, it protects better, and looks better in my opinion.
    My suggestions: Take your time and as many breaks as you need. Its not hard, just frustrating some times.
    I used stainless steal mesh I got from Home Depot, when trimming/cutting the material where leather gloves. You won't be sorry you did.
    Finally, especially if you have never done this, don't try to be perfect. Don't play mind games with yourself trying to make it look store bought. They use machines to do this. You are working with your hands, so be proud and know you"WILL" get better as you go along and/or do it more often.
