IPD Closeout on Chrome Mesh Grill
1 - 20 of 24 Posts
I bought this a bit ago...it wa $82 dollars then however. I couldn't imagine leaving the chrome personally...but I bushed it (ala mirror caps) and gave it 2 coats of plasti dip which I got from Lowe's. It looks great and had no problems with the winter weather (did this back in January). Have about 2500 miles on the paint and looks fine.<p>One suggestion though...don't get any wax on plastidip. Have fun getting that off if you do.

Re: (b1gtime)
That is the plan... it was $175 for the Black one and $72 for the Chrome one.... I have been researching Paint. Whats the recommendation? I was thinking wet sanding, Black primer, etc and I have not decided on the final coat... Semi Gloss? Thanks. Marc

The Chrome isn't bad once installed. I thought about painting mine but didn't buy the paint and decided to see what it looked like installed.<br>So far I like it and don't think I'm going to paint it.<p><IMG SRC="http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/d4nnyocean/3-29-09085.jpg" BORDER="0"><BR><BR>

Just made the purchase , Going to paint it black as well, like stated above - for $80 ,s&h included, you can't beat it, and it's so easy to change out.

Got this as a Christmas gift, got delivered with most of the clips broken, and just never got around to returning it...

Re: IPD Closeout on Chrome Mesh Grill (mjaffe)
I would greatly appreciate it if someone would post a daytime picture. Actually, what I am most concerned with is the quality of the thing. Is the mesh made of metal and is it securely bonded to the frame?<p>Thanks, Trygve<br>

Re: IPD Closeout on Chrome Mesh Grill (mjaffe)
I just bought one. Too good to pass up. I'm probably going to get mine powdercoated black, though. I have a black mesh grill from IPD on my 98 V70 GLT and the grill paint constantly needs touching up. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/mad.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>That's not gonna work on the R
