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!
Thanks for watching! Check out my instagram for more pics of the finished grill and other slick DIY projects. And don’t forget to stop by my store for dirtcheapdaily stickers.

Geez, this is the most hillbilly video I've come across in a while. Love the "patio furniture "…..
sure wish that dang saw blade wouldfit through grill then reattach itself to the handle BRA!👱💩✌👍's👇
A diagrammed her would be much better I think just my opinion
Great mate I just saved £10.00 thank you for the great way !
i gave you like cause your from utah
had me hyped to see what subie it's going on and I see your beat up ass old whip
I just want to say that you have beautiful lawn and very relaxing work place while doing this project 🙂
that actually turned out pretty sick nice job man
the first hint this was going to be a stupid video was that the grill being used was for a subaru
Nice dyi vid. One easier way would be to use cardboard to make a template and trace it on ur mesh then cut it out. I did that and then I used my router to make a inside lip then used a heavy duty adhesive to glue it in place. Great job on audio and video 👍
+Dirtcheapdaily this is and awesome grill and they always give a better look to cars, even trucks, im doing this for my silverado, good video by the way!!👍
I am sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix Webpage.
this build is not $4 its easily over $25
Sub'd , great stuff, can't wait for the turbo build coming up
калхозтюнинг👎
I wanna do this to my Ram 1500 stock grille , A pheasant went through it years ago and then got minced by the fan . It cracked the grille and mesh of course. So I reckon i could cut the cross out and do this mesh job , that would save hundreds !! I`m in England so it would be expensive for me to get a new one .. Good Job.
subaru 2.5rs
all of those for 1 ugly grill. no thanks
I can only do six inches. Story of my life.
I'm thinking about doing this, but, replacing the stars with the acronyms "FHI".
Nice informative vid
