The wire mesh I'm using in this video was purchased at ACE hardware for $3.50. Its a gutter guard made by Ameritech. You can find it in the roofing/gutter area.
If you have a subaru forester or other car with a large grille, you can join two gutter guards together, or buy a different piece of mesh that fits your application better. You can also use expanded sheet metal like I did on my Legacy GT.

Welcome to another episode of dirt-cheap daily!
In this episode, I’ll walk you through the steps to make your own badgless grill!

When you’re to this point, you can take the center section and toss it!
Hold onto the subaru emblem of course, but the rest is garbage.

So you should have something that looks like this. Its really rough and there are still chunks of plastic that we want to get rid of.

With the center cut out, the plastic that extends out of the back are really long, so I cut them shorter. I got a little rough and cracked the top edge. Remember to be careful with it until you get your mesh attached as it doesn’t have any support until then.
then I took a file and leveled out all the little humps left by the center section.


After some paint, it turned out looking great! Be sure to check out my spray painting video for some helpful tips to get a perfect finish on your own mesh grille.

The new grill and spruced up headlights do so much for the look of the whole car! Check out my other video to refurbish your headlights too!
