mach 1 grille delete problems...

smokeshow · May 18th, 2010, 08:03 PM

so I ordered a mach 1 grille delete for my car, and the fitment is SHIT. The piece that is supposed to clip under the bumper, and follow the contour of the bumper, doesn't follow it at all. I bought it thinking there was going to be no space between the black plastic piece and the bumper, it hugs it tight on the bottom, but in the corners is where it doesn't hug at all. I can get it to if I push down on it, but I don't really feel like going to get some super glue and gluing it.... anyone else have this issue or is it just mine?

the more I look at customers pictures on american muscle, it seems to be how most of them sit, kinda looks half assed though if you ask me. Think a heat gun would work???

I didn't have a problem with mine, it fit just fine......

Supra · May 18th, 2010, 08:20 PM

mine fit so so

smokeshow · May 18th, 2010, 08:22 PM

ya thats the thing, from far away mine looks alright, but once you get up and look at it, it looks like it has to be pushed down more or something. To be honest I don't know if I'm completely sold on the grille in the first place, and am debating putting my honey comb one back on...

Don't feel bad, I was thinking the same thing, and I have no issues with mine. Fits fine.

Pittbull · May 18th, 2010, 09:26 PM

i didnt like how mine fit at first. its a cheap POS if u ask me but you really cant tell unless u kno what ur looking for

see where it corners up towards the hood how its not flush with the bumper? i think thats wat ur talkin about...

mine is something like this, except yours pops out at the top corners, mine is more so on the bottom, but after I went down and looked at it again its not tooo bad, just take some getting used to I guess.

3sportbob · May 18th, 2010, 10:23 PM

I heard a heat gun and double sided tape work wonders on the fit.
