Default Mesh Grill Installation - Photos

This post is to help those who may be considering the installation of mesh inserts in their standard grill.

First, remove upper plastic radiator cover.

Thanks-

Remove two torx bolts; push down on outer tongue(s), lift on center tongue and slide grill assembly forward.

Remove wind 'tunnels', pop out old style vane grill.

Insert mesh grill(s) and reinsert wind tunnel(s).

Reinstall grill assembly. Take care to insert the grill surround 'tongues' through the slots in the bumper cover.

Reinstall torx bolts.

Thanks-
Mag

Looks good with the mesh installed. Have been looking at the inserts on Ebay but haven't bought them yet. Where did you get yours and are you happy with the quality of the mesh? Cary

This was a used OEM Grill Surround and Mesh Insert set from eBay, so the inserts are factory appropriate. Did some scrub up and good to go...

I've had the Mina set in the past and they are nice, too.

Thanks-
Mag
