front grille and badge

i got an 01. yea theres no way to get out the grill unless u dremel it out.

I think there would be a higher risk factor trying to DIY instead of just buying the grille from Vpower.net. It's like $30 and installs pretty quickly. Just remove the 3 screws and push on the tabs below. it's really simple and quick. the only thing is you may need to cut the mesh grille to fit where you want it but that takes only a few mins.

Sorry i'm not helping the guy who asked about an 02 corolla. Hopefully someone can help you out.

As for the post prior to mine i don't understand why you had to remove the whole bumper??

take care...GOOD LUCK!

front grille and badge

how do you guys take the front girlle off like i see all the time? or is it part of the bumper and i have to dremel and fill or is there a secret i dont know?

2002

So on the 04 all you do is pull off the 3 screws and then what? I wanted to add in a mesh grille and all I see is the one online, is there a way to go around buying it for a diy???

someone on 2003corolla.org took a dremel and sawed away all the bars. it looks pretty good.

actually on the 04 and 03 i belive also that in order to that u must take out the whole bumper thats what i did it bloes but the look was worht it. whats diy?

arent we talking about 01-02?

there's this wonderful tool...it's called a dremel...works wonders on the grille...

have a guy whose into fiberglass do it, they can do it in no time... gotta make the mesh look unique...

no you don't have to take off the bumper.... and DIY means "do it yourself"...

here's a pic of my grill... it's not the altis grill you hear about, it's my oem grill i modified and painted myself...

i did a grill as well, on my 94






i used gutter mesh from Home Depot, and an apoxy cemement to hold it in place

look at www.cardomain.com/id/prodigy3006 and in the show your ride forum at threads by prodigy3006 b/c he did his,

all you really have to do is cut whatever you want to go in that space then use fine wire to tie it in place using all the bars under your front bumper, takes about an hour or so, we used black plastic poultry netting from home depot.

where can I get that mesh material for my 98 corolla? I dont think they sell one for my year.

i found this black plastic gutter grille....like...20 feet of it for 2 bucks at lowes....its awesome

yeah...Juice...just go to Lowes or Home Depot...or any other hardware store. it's gutter mesh...and you can get it cheap.

here is the altis version style grill

What on top?

I see how you did that. Cool, but what did you to for the top part of the mesh?
It seems like it would be somewhat flimsy without some support across the top.
