Here's mine. Still have to paint the outer trim satin black. My car came with an ebay grille that looks kinda like this but it didn't fit at all. this way fits 100% perfect.

Hi,
This is going to go down as my first 'mod'  Excellent idea and writeup, thanks for the DIY! Time: One day Cost: $22 The metal snips and hack saw are a must, for both removing the existing plastic and trimming the expanded metal. I'm going to paint it black with BBQ stove paint as soon as I find a chance.  The front bumper's been replaced before I bought the car, and the paint's just kinda flaking off and leaving the white spots. . .

I know, I know... a gravedig.
But what on earth are you guys doing to be able to cut the expanded metal?! Ive tried with a hacksaw and its going very very slowly. Is there a faster way? |

Yeah man,
Use metal snips, I think they're designed for some similar purpose, but they make cutting out this grill super fast. I bought these when I picked up my expanded metal from home depot: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053 |

I picked up a set earlier today. I got the metal cut now I'm just waiting for my paint to dry. At first I thought "tin snips" were another name for side-cutters. I was wondering if everyone on ClubCivic was doing steroids for being able to do it so easily. Thanks guys, I'll post a pic when it's done and mounted.
Before and after. I had the chrome piece on mine and I decided to leave it chrome until I get it painted in the spring.
