Default Custom grille information

Hi guys,

I'm going to plastic weld a custom grille. Anyone know what type of plastic our grilles are made of? I am hoping to fab' it up from a 98-00 grille. I may have to purchase some plastic strips to finish it off.

Cheers.

Should be injection mold abs, but might be a PLA or resin based plastic as well.


Get a heat gun and try melting a part of it you don't care about, that's a good test of what it is

Thanks dude. I'm going to cut all the ribs out of it tomorrow so I'll melt one down and see what happens!
