there is a binary epoxy that you can purchase at most hardware stores that won't turn yellow. sorry i can't remember the name of the stuff but it's ultra strong. you shouldn't have much trouble finding it if you look around or ask a sales associate.

It shouldn't matter what color the epoxy is if you install the mesh properly. The way I installed my mesh, the epoxy holds it in on the back side of the grill where you can't see. I'm actually in the middle of redoing my grill. New mesh and new paint. If you want, I can take pics of how I am installing the mesh, tonight.

Well, here are a few pics I just took a couple hours ago. I might rethink the mesh to fill in the openings and possibly do a billet grill kind of thing.

looks great :thumbsup: i mounted my mesh the same way but after looking at ur pics im thinking of redoing the grill now
did u use bondo to fill in the spaces where the tridiamond was?? it looks nice without the indentations on the emblem.

Yup, good ol' Bondo. I'm contemplating whether I want to keep the clean shaved look or place an MMC emblem on the grill where the diamond star was. Click here ('http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_information.asp?number=MITS-EM2&variation=&aitem=2&mitem=2&back=yes') to see the emblem. I've had that emblem sitting around for a long time. I bought it from BGR when I met him in Vegas and he got it from the place I just posted.
