How do I install a pre-cut mesh grill for 94 Civic?

[civichick]

I bought this pre-cut mesh grill off eBay thinking it would easy, but I am having trouble figuring it out (serves me right for not wanting to spend money). Anyways...it came with metal wire (no drilling required) and the 3 pieces to install. So I tried fitting in one of the small side pieces and it doesn't seem to fit right. Has anyone bought one of these and know how to install it?

That's Ebay.

The grills I've seen were installed by wrapping the wire grill around the backside of the duct then it was glued on. That is if you have slack so that the wire can wrap around it. What won't fit?

i glued it with silicone

The small piece for the opening on the left side seems to big. I had trouble getting it to fit in the opening.

I may have to glue it in or try to return it.

Epoxy will do the trick, if not that, then some pullties.

pullties.

zipties-they should be a staple in every do it yourselfer's toolbox.

but seriously most grills are glued onto the back of the bumper

well my dad and i got in on eventually.
now I am thinking about maybe painting it black or a gunmetal color. does anyone have a 5th generation civic with a painted grill? i would like to see what it looks like.
