Finally installed my partial grille block pieces. With the license plate mounted in the center, about 50% of the grille will be covered.


Here it is installed. Hard to see thanks to the gloomy, rainy Oregon day, but that's also kind of the point. If you weren't looking for it you probably wouldn't notice it. Looks almost like a stock piece of the car.


I used epoxy to secure a zip tie to the back of the plastic piece here. Then I slipped it through the grille and zipped it from behind. The pressure fit was good enough that I likely don't need the zip tie at all, but it's a good insurance policy anyway. Don't need stuff flying off at highway speed.

EDIT: I am planning on adding a piece of ABS behind the license plate once I get the bracket installed that will block off more of the middle of the grille, leaving two openings and eventually covering around 60%-70% of the grille.
