Okayyyyyyy. So, I don't like the grille on my '08 Mazda3. Reference picture because I don't have any of my actual one; http://www.flickr.com/photos/47835024@N02/4386480026/ I plan on getting a CF, open-mouth grille from eBay that has the same style as the Axela in Japan. Grille: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...item=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4421wt_1165 The only reason why I'm getting it off eBay is because I don't know where I can find a grille with the same style, that falls under the '07-'08 Mazda3. However, the grille does not have the holes drilled to fit where the grille would screw into my front bumper. What do you guys recommend? DIY? Or go to a garage/body shop and get it done. I'm opting to pay a body shop just so I don't screw anything up. But if it's just that easy and any one can do it, I'll do it myself.
Ah come on, grow a pair! Tape the surface before you drill, measure and mark where the holes need to be and be done with it.
good, then post pics afterward use masking tape, after you mark with a pen, take a razor blade and make a little divet in the CF at the mark. You want to do this so your drill bit won't drift off the mark. Depending on the size hole you need I would start with a small bit to make a pilot hole then step up to the size you need. Measure twice, take your time with the drill and you should be good to go. The money saved by doing it yourself should cover the cost of a couple of t-shirts from Alex
