mmm last 2 weekends have been nothing but adding stuff to my car. granted, not "big" mods really, but still exciting! i hadn't done anything to my car since i got it a year and a half ago til now. enjoy! (no pictures of the OEM ipod adapter install... -_-)

anyone have any suggestions on what else i could use to hold the grill in, since Velcro might not hold up so well at higher speeds?

 

You could try a hot glue gun on the tabs from the back. That should lock it in position.

 

VERY nice..i installed the aero grill too this past week!!
i cut too much in some places and not enough. so mine stick out a little. but i can live with it. i finished it in about 2 hours or so. i was at work and it started getting busy so i had to rush..(DEFINITE NO NO..)
but great mods!!

 

Great post! my dad and i did the same thing to my car too a few months back, it didnt take us nearly as long as it took you and we didnt have to take the bumper cover off, that was cool!

 

looks great. welcome to the serous mod world after the grill....it's all downhill from here...hehehehe

 

great job! looks way better now!!!

 

Thanks!!! i know the mod bug is hard to resist, but no mods til i pay off the car! =)

and thanks blorax, i might just try the hot glue.

 

Haha that's what my dad said... Look at my car now and I'm nowhere being done..

 

Yeah Sure we all believe you (thats what I said to!!! )

 

Hey Candiecat,
I wouldn't go with hot glue as it probably wouldn't last too long. Doesn't really bond too well. Go down to Pep Boys and get some plastic cement.

It comes in a small tube, looks like a roll of nickels!

There are all kinds of brands but just get one that works for abs plastics. The cement is actually just a doughy compond that you cut little pieces off of and mix together with your hand. Think of it as playdoh. Hahahaha.

I just used a few pieces around the corners and it's worked like a charm.

One thing to note! BE CAREFUL! Don't have it squish out the sides or show through the grill. It expands as you press down so you don't have to use a lot. Just tape the grill on and leave it over night. It will be permanently bonded by the morning.

I used this method to attatch my lower grill and it hasn't come off yet. I've had it for about a year. Just use it sparingly!

 

Looks good. Nice job on the install

 

Plastic cement huh? I'll keep that in mind! The selection of glues at home depot gets confusing and i tend to buy into the adverstising.

yeah i know, it's SO HARD!!! i keep thinking of what i want to buy but... MUST.... RESIST!!!!

 

Nice work. Good job doing it on your own!

Hahahahaha...yeah me too. That's why I stick to going to the autoparts places for adhesive stuff. Too much to choose from at Home Depot.
