Thanks for the info, especially those that pm'd me. I'm definately not afraid to cut something like this up myself but I would like more info on how to cut and where.

Anymore info would be great.

P.S. This website is pretty awesome so far!!!

 

The use of a Dremel tool is a must to cut out the 2 and 4th bar.
Though I have not made the mod it would not be that hard. I would suggest that with this mod one would want to finish the job by painting the grille and backing it with a screen.
If you are going to paint the grille anyway after you made the cuts, you would want to fill the holes left on the outer side after cutting out the bars. A Bondo kit available at any auto parts store should be used to fill the voids.

 

I'm actually pretty handy with bodywork and I already have some body filler so that won't be an issue. That is very good info. Thank you. I was hoping to not have to fill and paint but it's not the end of the world.

 

Thanks for all of the info guys. I didn't wan't to start any troubles by asking these questions I just wanted some more info on this.

I hope I didn't cause any troubles!!!

 

No worries....

Thanks for the link Sindy. It's nice to see it residing at SoCalHHRs.com and proper credit being given.

 

Here's a picture of my 3 bar grill i did for the winter. lol put my chrome one away.

 

So, does normal bondo stay attached to the plastic grille? I made my first cut last night and kinda want to bondo the cuts...just trying to decide exactly what filler to use.

 

no it will crack eventually.....

 

Here's mine...ready for some clear tomorrow:
