OK...Let me qualify that statement: "In my totally unprofessional opinion, I think the cooling of my car is unaffected by my homemade grills...Your experience could possibly vary and you may want to check with your local dealer to verify the above opinion before attempting to install them yourself. Although, you wouldn't be installing my homemade grills because you made them...therefore you would not be relying on my opinion nor would you be using my homemade grills."

I think I need another beer...

Very funny.

I think they look great as well.

sdkkv, possibly you can re-install them with a few (4-6) strategically dabs of clear silicone sealant??

Consider some door edge guard around the screen edge -- may give a more finised look. Or you may be able to place the screen between the original plastic grill and the bumper cover to hold it in place. Just a few thoughts.

There is molding around the edge...it's just hard to see in the picture. I'm not sure there is enough room between the grill and the bumper with the way it clips in. I might play around with it more when I get some time.

It wouldn't stick with all the dirt on my car!!!

when i changed my front bumper i had the choice of mesh or original turbo grill, i went for the original look as i wasn't amazed with the mesh ,a little bit too horticultural for me, ie garden edge
