customcargrills.com Custom Dodge Dakota Grill Mesh Installation 

Lol, thanks. Hater's gonna hate, I get it =) As for the Automotive Goop, it's works surprisingly well. How well you might ask? This Dakota install, as well as many that are well older than this one are still on the road today. Since this video was made much of the newer videos I make use Pliogrip Plastic Repair #3. It works even better BUT comes at a much higher cost. If you have the budget to get the Pliogrip, then I would encourage it but if you're on a budget then the Automotive Goop is still a great choice for many applications.

@@customcargrills I appreciate you my man! Yea I’ll def roll with the pliogrip, I have a lead foot so I what that grill to be sturdy at high speed. Thanks again dude 💪🏼

Same, do you know the mesh brand or dimensions?

There are some good write ups on the Dakota forums about extending the latch with a rod if this type of mod interests you.

Yes, you can do the same thing with the OEM grill still intact.

James McElhenie I did with my Honda HR-V grill and I got very professional looking results.

www.customcargrills.com/Hexagon-Grill-Mesh.asp is the material used in the video. There are other styles of mesh available on my site as well.

I hear ya. I like flat black too but, just like gun metal gray, its overused. Either way, he did a great job.

It would probably be best to sand the chrome off the plastic first. From there, you can prime and paint it and you'll probably see better results than just painting directly on the chrome.

I tried sanding and painting that factory "chrome" but the paint won't adhere. BUT, the "chrome" is only a very thin tin material that you can peel off. Under the tin/chrome it's black plastic. I still paint the plastic but after sanding, and buying paint made for plastics, it's way easier to paint over.

Hi Luis, that might be possible. What year Bronco were you looking to see?

Ford bronco year 1994

I have a 89 n 86 ford bronco full size n from 85 to 96 all the grills r pretty much the same so if u can do it to a broncos grill between 85 to 96 i would appreciate it alot

Access to hood latch release

We've got silver mesh available. Nothing chrome dipped though.

I gave the customer what they wanted. There's 3 options for this install for the latch. 1) make a cutout as shown in the video. It's less than ideal but functional 2) extend the hood latch down by drilling into the safety release and running a cable down 3) do nothing and never open your hood again As I've stated before, the customer who the grill was made for in the video requested a cutout for the latch though, which is why it was done. If it were my personal truck, I would have opt'd for extending the latch down.

So all you wanted to do was talk crap about his work? Where's your video where you did a custom job better? Typical immature comment

You should check out some of our newer videos. The Dakota video is about 7 years old, and we've come a long way since then.

Tony, your custom grill video looked crappy too!

Awesome comment. Just what I needed to hear to day, thanks!

I don't see your custom grill video
