for those looking for a universal mesh grill. note: this is not the user i bought mine from, nor is it the same material. this one is aluminum, so i'm not sure how to cut this "cleanly".

looks like home depot gutter guard to me...

Its too porous. The 'mesh' needs to be smaller in gauge and a tighter pattern. It also needs to be chrome.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-26-2007, 06:27 PM

has anyone actually done this? ive seen lots of diy's on how to do it, but never seen a Yaris that has it...

I've seen the mesh "kit" at pepboys...but its BS...like 40 bucks

Im interested in doing the mod but dont know if it works...plus its waaaaaayyy cheaper! haha

ehendricks2 · 02-05-2009, 09:43 PM

I got the mesh grille to fit...will post result soon...DIY pics almost ready...

Kaotic Lazagna · 02-05-2009, 10:30 PM

Cool. Too bad I didn't get to do a DIY on this.

whiteghetto · 02-10-2009, 12:17 PM

any update on the DIY?

ehendricks2 · 05-06-2009, 02:31 PM

sorry about that...my computer blew up like 2 days after my last post...lost the diy...

i ended up buying the one at pepboys for the upper grille, and used a cheap-o gutter guard from home depot for the lower one. why?...cause the cheapo ones arent big enought for the upper grille...

i took the original off, used a dremel to cut the front bumper to where its flush, painted the mesh, and used a liquid nail type glue to stick it from the inside...

the bottom one looks a little crapy if you look at it up close...it has some gaps where the plastic grille used to be, but i will fix it with some fiberglass from th inside and a little bondo and paint.

here are some pics of how it looks...

lower grille...

Looks good, I plan on doing the same with my sedan. If it doesn't turn out good, I'll just put the oem grill back on.
