Default 2k Tib Front grill Mesh

I'm wondering if any of you guys could help me. I'm interested in installing mesh on my 2k front grill. Interested in doing the work myself but not too sure of what the job involves. Do I have to take the front bumper off? I'm pretty sure I have to. Has anyone done this and if so could you please guide me. Any pics or links would be great.

Thanks wink.gif

I've got a link at home with step by step instructions as to how to do this.

I think it was Dylan in Texas who put it up. If I can find it, I will post it.

it's not that hard, even I did it.
buy the gutter guard from home depot. Aluminum ones. it came in a pack of 5 and cost $7. luckly there were two of them out of the package so i got them for 31 cents each. ANYWAY. You only need two. If you are not sure get Three. Two of them will cover the front and Rear and have some left over.
First, jack up the car.(duh)no need to take the bumper off, just take the clips off of the stock grill. it requires small pointy wrench and yanking it off. then cut the gutter guard so that it will cover the whole grill. then cut the area where the plastic stuff will go in.
Upper grill is harder just because you have to reach it up there and you can't see ****. small space and gets annoying after while. it is also held by the same clips and needs to be yanked off. do the same thing over again, cut the gutter guard so it covers all the grill then just stick it in.
REAR ones are sort of hard . Same thing over again, clips off then grill. It's pretty tight space due to the bumper. and do the same thing over again. I had no knowledge of how to do this when i made my grill so it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do it. have fun

The car above is not mine. The body kit comes from Germany ($$$).

ATH is the company name.
This is their website.

Thanks to Brendan, for these instructions.

Instructions from the Hyundai Performance Zone

thanks to KaiJai and Cottonmouth of Fxtreme for digging these last 2 links up for us
