using a staple gun to install lower grill mesh

using a staple gun to install lower grill mesh

would it be wise for me to use a staple gun and staple the mesh to the bumper? i don't think that the staple will harm the bumper too much, but i don't know. i have the white rolla and i dont know how likely it is to find white wire, but i havn't looked yet. also, since i have the CE, i don't have fog lights and i was thinking about taking out the plastic piece and putting mesh in there. any thoughts? thanx a lot.

deff put the mesh where the fog lights are at too if you dont have em in. That would look cool. I dont think I would want to use a staple gun though. it would prolly blast right through to the front of the bumnper.

If you want, look for those tie wrap holders that have sticky tape on the back. you can put those around the edges and then put the tie wraps in to hold it on. Also you should have no problem finding white wire. Just about anywhere should have it.

Use this style on the back side of the bumper.

Ya gotta be careful if you use the white cable-ties (tie-wraps). The only ones I've seen tht are UV resistant are black, so if you use the white ones they'll eventually get brittle and break themselves. Used them on my wife's 03, it's Lunar, white looked better, will just replace them every spring.

Can't u just like spray paint the wires to be white??? That way you'll have white wires and don't have to use a staple gun. Or use really thin White ribbons.

spray paint doesn't stick to plastic and especially nylon (what tie-wraps are made of) well at all. The ties will flex in the wind at highway speeds, and it'll all crack and flake off.

But I'd bet that super-duper nail polish my neice keeps putting on my daughter's fingernails would last a while!

There's plastic wire??? i was talking about spray painting the metal wire. B/c i got some "hobby n flower wire" to do that on my car. I've had them for like 2 months and still haven't getten the chance to do the mesh thing to my car yet. I think it has to do with being lazy. Well i was gonna spray paint them blue and use the metal wire to hold the mesh on my car. Will it stay??? CUz i don't want to get all dirty under the car and the wires won't hold it.

Does the wire you're talking about have a shellac insulation on it? My wife's a crafter and she has bales of the stuff with the insulation all over, all colors. If it does, it would be perfect for that! And if you hit a Michaels or a AC Moore you can get that wire in just about any color you want.

You just gave me a excellent idea, thanks!

Um, it's just a regular thin wire that i saw hanging on the shelf and was like "hmm this will work to put that mesh stuff in my car", so i grabbed and it's been sitting on the counter for 2 months now. But it's just ole regular wire.
