Front bumper mesh

Post by bluesheepbrian »

Was wondering if anybody had any great words of wisdom on how I can
put mesh on the front bumper of a stock Lanos(non-sport).

I have mesh on the grill but now I want it down below in the bumper.
Thanx.

Do you want mesh in front or behind the plastic cross-like bracing in the bumper? Ah...don't know how to explain. If your covering the hole in front expect anger and a fairly scratched bumper, I gave up and put it behind the bracing, IMO looks better. Less ricey more speedy. I used a drill and zip-ties that were painted the color of my car to secure it. If you want a less destructive way, you could go with a strong epoxy and no drilling. However, words of wisdom... a. wear gloves b. plan everything using cardboard and make sure your mesh isn't upside down c. take your time, bad idea to mesh anything if you have somewhere to be :D

Hope this helps.

Before my ex decided to leave me and then total her Lanos ... LOL ... she wanted me to mesh her car's bumpers with flame cut-out mesh and then mount blue neon behind it. It sounded like a good idea and the flame cut-out mesh looked pretty cool.

I'll see if I can find a pic of it .... something to be different from the standard diamond shaped mesh.

Yeah I do want it in the back of the bumper.

Plus also kind of wanting to cut the rear indet of the
bumper, like put mesh behind when the indent is cut.

The best way would probably be to remove the bumper from the car and use a jig saw with a fine toothed blade after you have marked the bumber very carefully with a wax pencil or a dry-erase marker.

Use something that is removable in case you do not draw it straight the first time.
