I had a body shop do the work...I know they tried to use a 2part epoxy designed for bumpers, but it had trouble adhering, so they wanted to do fiberglass, but thats more rigid than the bumper, so it wouldnt last as much as that thing flexes, so they handed the project off to someone in their body shop and they came up with something else that they were willing to warranty for life along with the paint.

Here's mine. I did it on the cheap: went to Ace Hardware, paid $2.77 for a strip of aluminum mesh gutter guard, cut to fit, and this was the outcome. I put the mesh in the fog light holes as well (still kept the fog lights). My car is on a strict budget, so this worked for me.

Thanks, yours looks like it definitely took some work and the lines for the stripes all turned out very nice. I LOVED my grille until some asshat chipped the paint off it in a parking lot by pulling too far forward in the spot in front of me. I am currently grille-less

Yeah once i find another one on the cheap I think I'll do it again. It's a lot of work though, the black except for the letters is airbrushed. As you probably know because you painted ur stocker, the spots where the little fin like things are is tough to get the paint in without dripping it out the back. I'm sure i could do it easier the second time than the first, but i need to find the time to do it.
