  • diy grill wire clips

    After bending wires and trial fitting for hours, I came up up with these grill clips (2 for the upper mount and 2 for the lower sides) that should hold my grill while I look for oem retainers

    Here's a shot of my dirty engine bay with the grill mounted using the wire clips.
    I got the idea while looking at the stock air cleaner and the window roller clips. At first, I was thinking about the classic mustang's inner door panel clips but It just doesn't work after several attempts...

          Yeah, z5stiva uses cable ties (it has 1 orig retainer). I was only trying to make it look more stock and neat because I'm sure I'll have a hard time finding the original retainers here. IMO black cable ties are cool though.
