Default Custom grille and lip for MS6

I decided to give the MS6 a bit of a facelift. I started by ordering:

All Fit Lip Kit with 1.5" lip, for front/rear bumpers:

Lip Kit For Cars | Traditional 1.5 Inch All-Fit Lip Kit

And Diamond XXL powder coat black grille mesh from customcargrilles.com

https://www.customcargrills.com/prod...od=Diamond_XXL

I pulled the front bumper off and got to work.

I was very impressed with the All Fit lip kit. It comes premade with that 3M tape and a bunch of screws/washers for a good install. It isn't that garage door stuff; it is a very solid but flexible lip material and it installed very nicely.

Next was the custom car grille mesh sheet. I watched a few of the guy's videos before trying this. You should too. I followed his instructions and got the grille mounted up and glued. Note, this is reversible and the stock grille could go back on if I wanted.

Here the grille is cut, mounted, bent to shape and glued to the bumper.



I knew my crashbar looked shitty, so I used some of that garage door stuff that people used to use for lips, and used double sided tape so when people look through the grille they don't see a mess, since the new grille is wide open.



Here's the bumper ready to go on with the all fit lip and grille



And here's a few pics of the setup, in and out of the sun.

Couple folks suggesting getting rid of the moustache wrap. They were damn right, this looks SO much better.

That grill looks fantastic. Agreed on mustache delete. The lip kit is very slight and looks factory. Thanks for including the links.
