    need diy grille help

    I know there are about a million of these threads but here it goes. i have a 90-91 grille and took it off and painted the grille black. i noticed there was a small black box that was behind the "H" emblem. Do i have to cut this out to fit a mesh grille inside, or will it fit right over it. Any help would be appreciated

    I think the chrome piece has screws in the back like 92-93 try unscrewing it and fitting it in between or if it not cut off the black piece and fit it in between the same way

        If your not going to cut out the "H", try cutting two pieces of mesh to fit on both sides of it. Cut the black bars out of the middle, and place the mesh between the Chrome ring and the black plastic part of the grill...

        Make sense?

            When I did my grill, I just left the "small black box" there so I could leave the H emblem. I just put the mesh in between the chrome trim and the grill and screwed the chrome trim back on to make it stay put.

            I used 2 pieces of mesh when I did it.

            (I had to go take off my grill to remember how I did it )

            Hope this helped out.

              What kind of grill are you trying to make, a grill with just mesh and no "H" symbol or the grill WITH the "H" symbol and mesh on both sides?. If you want to do it with just plain mesh, then yea, you have to cut out that "H", If not, just cut off the two horinzontal lines coming from the black box on each side and just put on the mesh. I just kept the mesh in with screws..

                  Just a personal opinion... But if you're going to put mesh in your grill spray paint it black so it doesn't look so "Fast & Furious".

                            What kind of grill do you have a 90-91 or 92-93. I have a 90 grill and to remove the grill I just took off the screws holding it down I dont know about the 92-93's though. When you take off the stock grill, its two parts in all. A chrome section and a black section. These two sections are held together by about 10 or 12 something small screws...
