RedRider3141 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) EDIT: Added New pics without license plate and with lower section completed. I ended up with some nice SS mesh so I decided to cut it up and spruce up my grille and protect my cooling module from rock damage. I need to get some photos up of the bottom section too but you get the idea. I cut a pattern using cardboard and then transferred it to the mesh. I added about 12-40mm of extra mesh around the edge to fold it back over itself to help hold the raw edge from cutting. I then unscrewed the tree supports for the front grille and sandwiched the mesh between the OEM grille and the supports.

silverton Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Personalized plate search resultsSorry, EATDRT is not available. They really did a crappy job with your personalized plate! I'd take it back and ask for a do over. ROFL! That does look really nice, when I was reading I thought you had actually removed the stock grill to put the mesh in, and I've always thought that looked cheesy. But it looks good being tucked behind the factory grill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 You caught me, the plate is 'shopped. What? No! Say it ain't so! Don't look too shabby, I thought of doeing a full mesh in the 4runner (but re-attach the badges so it ain't too ricer lookin) but think that might look a bit in a r50. Not that their anything wrong with being a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out. The front end was just missing something on the SE. I always liked the LE grille better and I though the open section in the lower part of the bumper was way to wide open and exposed. Next project is find a replacement skid plate and figure out something to do with that bad bumper paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
