on each of my previous cars i changed out the grilles on top and buttom
the coupe just has that opening thats begging to be covered up with a mesh.
in this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-HONDA-ACCORD-COUPE-2PC-MESH-GRILLE-GRILL-08-E-G_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a552Q7c39Q3a1Q7c 66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1318 QQhashZitem250276108266QQitemZ250276108266#ebaypho tohosting
does anyone know how that bottom piece is attached?
i want to make my own custom mesh and have rubber lining on the tips of the mesh all around, the only issue is securing it to the bumper without drilling holes...
ideas? thoughts?

Not sure how that ebay grille is attached, but it sure is gross.

I eventually want to get around to doing this myself, the A/C condenser is a little too exposed for my taste.

Ive been looking at one at billetanything.com made by T Rex I think, says its available in black powder coat.
Im worried about the condenser too, I sell 2 or 3 a week because of rock damage.

that lower grille is hideous, might as well put a cheese grater there. this dude has both grilles.

the vertical lines kill it. i've seen similar styles on a 350z, and they look nice.....but they also don't have the vertical bars.

guys the first link was used as an example, i am not putting more chrome on the car.
and naighthawkcoupe, thats not what i need, he simply blocked the condenser and radiator, i am looking to put a black mesh on the bottom opening to make the bumper more whole rather than having that big opening on the bottom

In that case I guess you could buy some supplies at Home Depot. Find wire mesh with a pattern you like, spray black and clearcoat. Cut to desired size, put some black weatherstripping (the type you would put on a door edge) around the edges of the mesh. As long as it is tight-fitting, you could probably secure it to the vertical bars in our lower bumpers with zip-ties or something.
