Looks cool. Just watch the coolant temps.

I guess you'd call this "The Upper Grill Mod" :lol:

Jim, I cut the material that we picked up at Auto Zone to fit the back of the grill,I molded the edges and used a hot glue gun to fasten it to the grill back, I did not use the gutter guard on the grill it was not wide enough.
So we used Mesh Racing Grill made by Redline At Auto Zone.
Send me a PM for thier web address.

With the size of the insects down there... you need it!
Took me a long time to get rid of those buggers!
Dave, you have the Cooper's right? Could you pm me the style and size again please? I should have wrote it down.

Man that is nice looking. I didn't even think about doing an "upper grille mod" but seeing that makes me want to do an upper and lower setup like that. Kudos to you guys on the install. I just wonder how it would look on a silver MM....

we cut it out a little bigger than the back of the grille and hot glued it to some mounts on the back.any thoughts on different install methods. I'm considering this mod but unsure if gluing is the best method. Ideas?

I would say 3M Automotive double stick tape. You can always remove it

w/out damage.
