    Default DIY: Mesh Grille Mod

    Tools needed:

    screwdriver to remove the grille
    hacksaw to cut the grille's webbing
    wire cutter to shape the 18 gauge wire mesh
    gloves
    spray can
    marker

    I bought 2 Steelworks 12x24 18 gauge wire mesh from the hardware store.



    1. Remove the grille shell from the grille frame. They are just snapped on to
    each other.

    2. Place the wire mesh on top of the grille holes and use a marker to mark
    the cut points. Cut out the wire mesh 1/2" bigger than the 3 grille holes.
    Having the mesh grille a little bit larger than the 3 grille holes will keep the
    mesh grille from moving around. Also, make sure the grille doesn't cover
    any of the tab holes so that the grille shell can snap back on properly.

    3. Cut out the grille webbing from the grille frame.

    4. Paint the wire mesh (both sides) and let it dry. Paint both sides to prevent rusting.

    5. Place the 3 wire mesh in place. No adhesive needed but you can use it.

    6. Snap on the grille shell and make sure the grille is straight.


    The hardest part for me was cutting and shaping the wire mesh because I didn't have the proper cutting tool.

    The second hardest part would be cutting out the grille webbing.

    If you have the proper tools this mod is cake.

    End Result:







    If you don't have the time or material to do this mod, PM eddie fonzareli.
    He's done many mesh grille mods for Titan Owners.
