GT-LTD.00 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Has anybody done a DIY grill for the 2000-2002 legacy front grill or put mesh inserts in a 2003-2004 front bumper? Im lookin to try it here shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetItSnow Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've got a custom grille, and I can tell you one thing for sure: If you gut the frame of the thing, you won't be able to lift the hood with it! There are two ways around this: - Leave the center post (and integral oval) in place - Add structure to the grille I can't recall who customized his grille with a couple of threaded rods which went top to bottom on either side of the hood latch. They were hidden behind some mesh, and they seemed to work well. Either way, this is something that I would imagine is an oversight on this project all too often.

badbasser98 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I am putting the finishing touches on my DIY grille right now. Most likely won't have pics until its painted and on the car though (late summer?). I can't recall who customized his grille with a couple of threaded rods which went top to bottom on either side of the hood latch. They were hidden behind some mesh, and they seemed to work well.
