4th Generation Changing stock grille to mesh grille?

I don't have enough money for a body kit, but I at least want to change the fugly stock front griller on the Gen 4 camry to a mesh grille. Does anyone know the best possible way to do this? I have no money, so I'll have to do this all on my own. Thanks for any help!

you need about $20-30 for the mesh, you basically bend it and trim it to meet your needs, not too tough to do, though you will need to check it as you go to make sure both sides are the same.

Gen4. That means your grille is connected to the car and not removable.

This makes it a pain in the ass. To do it, I believe you need to dremel it off and then put the mesh in but theres a little more to that. I wish i could think of someone off the top of my head who you could ask but I can't think of someone right now.

I think there's a member did it on here. I couldn't find it, but you can try harder. I will post it up if I can find it.
