so your wanting to mesh where the open area is on the front of your bar?

if so it would be alot easier to remove the front bar and do it. Id just hot glue it on. Works fine on cars ive told people to do it on.

Who said it was done in the backyard?

Remove bar from car.
Glue wall gromets to bar.
Once glue has set, screw mesh onto bar.

This way you can remove or change without damaging the bar.

Your signature has aftermarket stuff listed, so therefore I guess you retract your statement about not liking aftermaket stuff.

Non-Factory options:
BMC airfilter, Pacemaker 4499's, 2.5" system
Kingspring Superlows, Monroe shox, -2 degree camber

Game set and Match DRHEMI :

I'm going to try and do this friday night, where are the screws to remove the front bar, are they the ones you see ontop when you open the bonnet??

Is it easy enough to get off and on?
