instaling mesh grill

hey i have a body kit and i want to install diamond grill in the gaps, what is the best way to do this, i was thinki8ng placing it tight against the bodykit and then applying fiberglass filler over some of the checkerplate ( on the back side so it wouldnt be noticable) what do you think?

If the bodykit is flat where the vents in question are located then cut the mesh a little bigger and use fiberglass resin around the edges. If the vents go back into the kit to make ledge like area yet again over size your cut wrap the mesh tightly around the lips and use fiberglass resin.

I used it on all my mesh and it is some strong stuff. I had a piece of concrete bounce off a truck and hit me right in the front mesh of my bumper and it didnt even budge it.


Even pure genius is born out of insanity.

i wouldnt glass it in. even though its really strong, if it does break, theres no telling where its going to break and it could take a big chunck out of your kit. i used liquid nails on all my mesh. works great. its strong enough to hold a beating, but it does break away to prevent any damage.
