I’m glad I found this video and your company!
That’s pretty cool and seems pretty easy and looks good!
Amazing app. It helps visualize everything into perspective.
You da man! Nice.
Thank you for this awesome video i can’t wait to make one for my car 🚗💯👌
Great job man!
Mike, the aluminum wont rust but it will corrode over time. Polishing it up from time to time will usually keep it looking good long-term.
That why Id go with zip ties instead of gluing the mesh directly to the back of the grill. You epoxy/glue the tie brackets to the back of the grill.
Just cut the ties and replace the mesh and re-tie.
Had diamond shaped and after a few years decided to change to octagon and ties made it really easy.
really good instructional video thank you..
thank you man! I hope to do this to my Mini!! ill def post and share!
I look forward to checking it out!
Good work
This helps me when I do my Ranger. Thanks for the video
About to do my ranger lol
Man that's looks neat to see
a very nice job.
Thanks for this im trying to figure mine out
Dang this video so well done like a 3 M video
excellent work my brother , God bless
Nice video. Very good joob 👍
Good job
Id like to do something similar but with large black honeycomb
not a criticism, nice job you could clear cote prior to fixing after you have formed the shape
I would have tried to leave on the tabs and cut mesh to slip over tab for more security with the glue. Just a thought.
You couldn’t click in the tab though with the grill over it. It would cause it to protrude out too much obviously.
Wanted to see it installed
Great Video...very professional. Thank you !!!
Fiiiiiiiire bro
Jose, the app is available for iPhone and iPod Touch devices.
Looks good
This is CLUTCH!! THANKS!
Excellent!!
Have you done an install using the plastic grille? I'd like to learn for myself.
is that goop heat resistant will this work on a bonet / hood scoop?
I used the black coated alloy mesh on my car
Exelente trabajo
nice
That looks good! Have you done any of the newer ford super dutys?? Mine for example is a 2014
+Noel Rodriguez It's something I'd like to look into soon but at this time we've only make lower inserts for the newer Ford trucks.
Hi, I want to do this on a fiberglass bumper. Do you think Goop holds on that material as well....? Thanks!!!
Yeah, I think the the Goop should hold up fine against the fiberglass.
Got some chicken wire laying around the yard. Thanks for the idea
Make one for a 84-96 xj
u can ship to Canada right ?
Hi, yes, we do ship to Canada and world wide.
Love your videos!! Could you please do a Chevy Silverado, I wanna see how it's done first before I start hacking away at mine, keep up the good work!!!
I might be able to make a Silverado video. Is there a specific year of the truck that you'd like to see done?
98 because it'll cover the silverado and suburban
customcargrills if at all possible a 2004
Ok, thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can come up with.
So goop will keep the metal connected to the plastic? I’ve tried a few other epoxies and none would keep the mesh onto the plastic
Yes, the Goop works great for bonding mixed materials together, such as metal & plastic.
What a mesh
Hey man, I have a quick question, would using Galvanized Steel work?
Sure. It'll be harder to work with though.
Sir, what kind of adhesive did you use?
Automotive Goop
Please do a video on a Volvo V50/s40 grill
I might be able to do one of those. What year V50 do you have?
@@customcargrills 05' V50
So i want to do basically the same thing- with a black plastic honeycomb mesh on a 2006 ford ranger xlt- to try to copy the appearance of a 2003 ford ranger edge
I think that would be possible but you'll need to change the install a little bit since the plastic mesh won't wrap around the openings like the metal meshes will. You might want to checkout this video for a different approach: ua-cam.com/video/Zpe4VghwaCA/v-deo.html
Hi I I have a 1995 Lincoln Mark 8 what part of the grill broke I would like to replace the whole grill but I'm not for sure how
Hey Benny, depending on what broke, that might be repairable or might not be. I saw you sent me an email and I just sent a reply.
I would have never cut the oem grill tabs off , on trade in you get more if all oem accessories are back on it vs. aftermarket or custom fab .
Literally no one cares. Modify your car and enjoy it without worrying about losing pennies.
Disagree
lol wow you did the hard way man lol fck , i used thoses old satellite dish screen mesh n cut it into shape of the factory grill and from the front i slide it inward agast the factory plastic grill mesh n screw it in - ofcourse after i painted my colour to match my o4 avalanch.. ok you wonderin how can i screw them in , i cut thoses satellite tinmetal into small strips to go threw thoses little squard platic n bentin them. now screw has something to grab. hope i explain it lol
👍
👍👍👍
so why cut the new grill into pieces? why not glue it in one piece?
Sometimes that's possible and sometimes it's not. It usually depends if the factory grill has multiple layers behind the front shell or depends on how far away the openings are. In the case of this F-150, the main center openings are clustered close together which is good for doing a one sheet install but the sides are a bit further out that I would prefer.
An additional challenge with doing a one sheet installation is finding a way to keep the center area flush up against the back of the factory grill. It could have been done with the F-150 in this video but I felt like the multi-piece approach was a better fit for the project.
Here are some videos where I did a one sheet installation that you might like:

amokachi31 ,,,,,,good idea
Hi guys!
How many Goop tubes did you need for this job? (how much is in a tube ? )
Thanks!
That's a good question. I made the video so long ago it's hard to remember. My guess is that it was (2) 3.7oz tubes.
@@customcargrills Thanks a lot man !
customcargrills will E6000 work to glue grill in place ?
Probably. I think it's a very similar formula to the Automotive Goop
Thanks
Sounds like Patrick Bateman in the shower scene in the start of the movie.
Old one is more looks good
Do you sell propane in your spare time?
And propane accessories! Taste the meat, not the heat.
Dammit Bobby
Why not use one big piece? ???
Why cut so many individual pieces
This has been explained a couple times in the comment section. Sometimes one sheet is possible and sometimes individual pieces are better. If you check out my other videos, there's many installs where one sheet is used.
Can this be done with a '98 Ford Ranger grill?
I would imagine so. =)
Were did you purchase mesh

I need a set for a 2 door 1995 tahoe ???
Not such a good idea to replace the doors by grids ^^
Did Boomerhauer, Dale, Bill or Bobby help you with this Hank?
My neighbor Kahn Souphanousinphone , and Kahn Jr, helped with the camerawork. You should check out the video we made for John Redcorn's Jeep too
@@customcargrills awesome! Will do.
Where did you buy this mesh from?
www.customcargrills.com/Woven-Grill-Mesh.asp
I have this exact same grill... How much wire would I need to do this?!
+Larken McRorie I used the 12"x48" sheet to get the job done.
Good day,
I want to one for my ford fiesta, will it be possible
I'm not sure what year / trim Fiesta you have but I have 2014+ ST Fiesta pieces available here: www.customcargrills.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Ford-Fiesta-14-ST
Lexus is250 👍🏻is applicable?
Possibly, I'm not 100% sure.
Ещё один "гений"
Wire nippers😂😂
You buy this stuff at Home Depot?
The mesh is from our website ( www.customcargrills.com ). The glue can be purchased at Home Depot or other retailers.
what is the name of the glue?
Automotive Goop
Bro how much coast the net.
All the info is here: www.customcargrills.com/Woven-Grill-Mesh.asp
Do you guys have a grill for eight 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix
Currently, the best I would have is just sheets of mesh for a 77 Grand Prix
@@customcargrills ok
@@customcargrills How much
That depends on the size and style. Everything is listed on our website.
What about hot glue gun?
Is it for smartphone
what was that wires name (be specific please )
The wire mesh is the Aluminum version of the "0.50 in. Woven Wire XXL Grill Mesh Sheets" as seen on our site here: www.customcargrills.com/Woven-Grill-Mesh.asp
+customcargrills Thank you for answering my question: )
Thank god, other site I was on listed sheets above 200 dollars.

How long will this last?
This video is almost 4 years old, and the mesh is still on the grill like the day the video was shot.
but isnt the aluminium going to rust? i meen, aluminium rims are coated or painted to make sure that wont happen.
Mike Franke You have to check your aluminium with an aluminium magnet. if the aluminium magnet sticks, you can be sure that it won't rust. it's the only way to make sure you have high quality aluminium. most hardware stores have them so just make sure to ask.
@@volatilesky yes, and you cab fund them right next to the flux capacitors.....
Hot glue??
Goop is far from hot glue. What would you propose to be a better solution than using an adhesive?
where do you buy the auto GOOP?
+Kayla Langston It's available at most large retailers locally. We also stock it on our website.
thank you
Kayla Langston Walmart,and most Truck stop chains carry it(TA/Petro/Pilot/Flying J/Loves).
If you go to the craft section at Walmart, there's a better product called E6000.
Does this effect insurance?
You would need to contact your insurance provider for an answer to that question.
customcargrills Okay thanks for the reply, great video btw :)
No android app?
Correct. Only iOS.
Where do get that mesh?
www.customcargrills.com/Woven-Grill-Mesh.asp
Во калхозник, была такая решётка.
я на мустанг еле нашел решетку в бампер, которая была у него родная))) а тут печаль конечно...
how about in Lancer 2009?
+Pee Yach Dee I haven't made one yet, but I will let you know if we do.
hot glue would be quicker
It might be quicker but it likely would not hold on very well.
mike dunmore Hot glue gets brittle over time.
AKBuilder762 hot glue that I use doesn't get rock hard but a soft hard. I also see that they make different types of hot glues.
In high temperatures it won't hold a shit
0:17 why did you cut these off the camera?!
+Gregory May From what I recall, the first take went bad so that was the redo of it.
customcargrills
I like real videos where people dont edit out the difficult bits ot screw ups. Thanks for the video anyway. Is that glue that good? I just bought some.
+Gregory May The Automotive Goop usually works well for most of our applications.
Original looks 1 million times better
why didn't you leave it one peace
Because.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to just convince yourself that the factory grill is good as it is and stick with it. No assembly or parts needed. :-)
That is just called lazy, Sorry
He should be mindful of making each piece match its counterpart... from left to right the mesh is offset about a quarter inch or more. Sloppy work...
This is one of the earliest videos I made, from several years ago. Over the years, I've made a lot of progress with the way that I cut and install the mesh; including symmetry of the mesh and lining it up correctly. You should check out some of the newer videos I've made =)
va rouillé 😂😂😂
Cela ne rouillera pas. Le treillis est en aluminium.
bouahaha 😂😂😂 n'est existe pas en grille d aluminium 😆😆😆
La grille d'usine est en plastique. Le maillage que nous utilisons est en aluminium, disponible ici: www.customcargrills.com/Woven-Grill-Mesh.asp

Such a big stupid project that wont hold up the long run and will never be cleaned properly...just should have sent the plastic grill mesh pieces to be hydro chrome dipped.
This DIY is nonsense.
What if I told you that today, March 23rd, 2020, the grille looks about the same as it did when I made the video 2069 days ago?
I can make a follow-up video if people think the install is trash, can't be cleaned, and will never hold up because it's still perfectly fine today as it was then.
Downgrade
nice
