How did you install your billet grill that you got off the ebay guy (the $69 one) Did you use the 2 plastic tie wraps? if so how? a little detail would help me alot.. thanks guys... pics would be cool too

 

I couldn't figure out to do it the way the guy said so I made up my own way here goes...

Take off the plastic grille
get the zip ties grab 2 and put one male end of one onto the female end just a little past when the zip part starts to grab
do the same to the other 2 (you will have 2 long zip ties instead of 4 shorter ones)
next slip the zip tie through the billet grill around the middle metal square then stick it around the holes on you cars grill (the ones that are behind the plastic grille that you took off)
do the same to the other side
then pull untill tight cut off some excess but not all in case you have to adjust later on then push the head of the ziptie behind the grille so you can't see it then your done

This is pretty hard to describe I wish I could snap some pics but it was my friends SS and I have no Idea how to work my dads digicam

 

anyone else?

 

 

 

When I put mine on my V6, I zip tied it around the fog light bracket. I left the lock thing on the zip tie visible, but you couldn't notice it unless you looked really close.

 

How many zip ties did you use? did you zip it in 2-3-4 places? I wanna make sure that this thing is gonna stay put and not come off...

 

Just used two zip ties (they were included), one for each fog light. It held extremely well, although it did fly off when I hydroplaned into a guard rail at 65 mph .

 

yea i ziptied mine around the foglight brackets also.and i could also see the connector of the ties in front of the grill.i ended up taking it off cuz i couldnt get it to look right.it was always cruked

 

oh yea i used all 4 zip ties.i dunno maybe 2 is better to get it looking right

 

Oh you have an LT1 I thought it was an ls1 I coulda swore your sig said 98

 

Nah I got a 97 bro. hehe

 

Yep, zipties to each of the fog light brackets, easy as pie. Now I wonder what im gonna do when i have to change the fog lights...


seth

 

Just put mine on, it seems as though some people are leaving the connector ties in the front but i got around it.

I just used two ties. First, with the grill facing you (after you've chosen the point where that will line up with the fog light bracket), put the male end through the grill from back to front (so its point at you), then bend it around and put it back through so it wraps around the black thing between grill lines. Then insert this through the fog light bracket (above the fog light). Its kind of tricky, but if you put it through the connector BEHIND the grill, you can then bring the excess male end through the front, and tighten it simply by pulling that. Then once its tight, you can just tuck the male end into the grill, and its invisible.

Thats such a bad explanation, hope it may have helped though.

 

What kind of zip ties can I use? I dont have the ones it came with anymore. well I have one of them.. Gettin my car back from the body shop at 430 and wanna get my grill my back on....
