How To: Get "L" emblem on Z-Edition grill *Pics*
For everyone that's been PMing me on how I got my "L" on my Z-edition grill, as well as those who've asked how I got my grill to fit on my C-West bumper, here's a guide to how to do both. They aren't step by step instructions, but they'll serve as a helpful guide as where to cut and drill holes.
Getting "L" emblem on Z-Edition grill:
1. Take stock "L" emblem and break off the two tabs in the middle that held it to the stock grill. You can sand it down to make it flush with the back of the emblem if you like.
2. Drill a hole in the four corner tabs. I did it close to the back edge, so that it would be the least exposed as possible.
3. Take four small zipties, put it through each of the holes, and connect it to the grill. (Note: The pictures below will show how I connected the emblem to the grill.
4. Make sure it's centered, and you're done!
Getting Z-Edition grill to fit the C-West bumper:
1. Get a dremel with a thin cutting bit and cut the side frames and bottom frame of the grill.
2. Be careful at this part. Dremel each of the bars a little at a time. Constantly check to see if it matches to the bumper. Keep cutting till you have it the way you like.
3. You will notice you can only keep it attached with the middle screw at the top. It will move around. What I did was reinforced it with double-sided tape on the bottom. There will be 5 small tabs where you can place these. Place a small piece of tape at each of these tabs and they will hug the bumper. It will hold it nicely.
4. Break off all the small pieces of plastic and clean the grill off, and you're done!
Enjoy!
