I like that mesh! How are you going to permanently attach it to the grille?

Thanks Chip! Goop, lol. Same method that S197 GT used on his. Once I pick it up from powder coat, I'm going to zip tie it back on the grille and apply a line of goop all the way around the edge of the back of the grille.

Unfortunately no lol. I had a little run in where my fender got a little mangled up. Ordered a new fender, and it is getting painted now. Hardly noticeable though as no one has said anything about it in my pics since January Lol!

Sneak peak at the calipers. Powder Coater said they should be ready for pick up tomorrow!

I know! I'm hoping the grilles are ready to be picked up from powder coating tomorrow so I can have the car all back together Friday.

Lol! Sounds like the same thing my fiance and I go through. I ask her if she wants to ride by the Ford dealer and look at F150's all the time.

Finished up the grille project today! Also was able to throw on the powder coated Brembos as well. I have the rears ready to go on, but they are not on in the pictures. Definitely going to get some better pics sometime this week when the weather clears up.

Overall, the grille project with @knightvision was a huge success. It wasn't overly difficult to do, and turned out killer. I drove her today for the first time in months and felt great! A lot of head turning too, lol!

We used zip ties to hold the mesh in place on the OEM grille while we use Goop All-Purpose to adhere it.

We waited 24 hours for the Goop to dry and cure. Once we snipped the zip ties off, the mesh was stuck rock solid to the OEM grille. The Goop really did it's job here.

Installed the new grille onto the bumper.

The final product.

Awesome color, I love everything about it... The only thing better would be one with a Hellion TT kit [emoji12]

You're killing me Gabe Lol! They do look a lot better in person. These are the first stick-on anything I've done to a car and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Thanks man! I'd love to do a TT kit. The wedding funds are kind of taking away from that dream. Maybe this time next year though!

Lol! I haven't taken her to the track yet. She's only got 1300 miles on her still, and that's pre-2016 lol! I do plan on it sometime soon though.

The wedding or the car?

One will be cheaper than the other, I can promise you that...and one doesn't take half your shit when you upgrade either!
