My buddy has a 98 Dakota and he's trying to install mesh in the grill of the hood. Its not a kit or anything, just the mesh and its being cut to size. i ran up there tonight to see what i could do for him cause he was stumped. When i looked at it, i had no idea how to exactly mount it. He broke out the original plastic crap. can anyone post some pics of the inside of the hood and how it was mounted? I thought of doing it in a single peice and just using epoxy to mount it. but he had cut it, so now its either gonna be two big peices (one for each side) or do individual peices. Anyone have some ideas????

 

Ya the way i did mine was i kept the little pieces that held on the stock grille but broke off the tips to get it off. and then i cut individual pieces and jus bent them into place over the fasteners on the grille shell I will take some pictures tomorrow if you still need some help. I havent had time to do the lower bumper openings yet so if u are also going to do those you are on ur own for now.

 

there was no tabs holding it in by the looks of it. it was a one peice design. (molded right to the hood) so he just broke it right off. But pics would help me. Thanks
