Rep Power: 0 i used 2 screws. one at each end. you cant see the screws unless you really look. the screws keep the mesh real tight and smooth its not wavey at all.[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 use zip ties, just have to drill small holes in the plastic of the bumper.
I did kinda the same thing, but I used like 14gague wire and just twisted it tight.
the screw idea seems like a good one too.
Good luck!

Rep Power: 0 << I cannot drill into the front bumper because it is fiberglass, it is very thin and a screw would most likely make it crack. I am not even going to try it. >>

Rep Power: 0 Here's how I did mine. Get some stainless steel picture hanging wire. The braided stuff that comes in like 6' rolls. Unwind one strand of it and cut it to 18" lengths. Place the grill on, fold the strand of wire in half, push the two ends of the wire through the grill, making sure to catch one "wire" of the grill in the center. The center of the wire where it folds in half should be pulled tight up against the grill, then pass the two ends through the black part of the bumper and tie it tight from the back. The wire is completely invisible to the naked eye unless you get real close, and even then it takes a minute to find the spots where it's tied from. Not only that, but the wire won't rust, and with this method, you don't have to cut out the black part of the bumper because you're using it to tie onto to. Look at my ride to see how clean the grill looks.
