So I'm gonna be replacing my ridiculously fake plastic "grille" inserts on my 3G to actual aluminum grille inserts. I plan to cut out the fake ones with my Dremel, then paint up the grille I have matte black and attach them on the front/rear bumpers, fenders, and fog housings.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to attach the new grille inserts. When I had my RSX it was equipped with a full body kit, and they attached the grille with these small pieces of aluminum (I think) that were bendable. They looked like tiny popsicle sticks and one end was fastened to the body piece by epoxy and the other was overhanging the "hole" you were applying the grille to so you could slide the end through one of the holes in the grille, lay the grille flat on the body piece, then fold the piece over the grille...which held it tight in place. I wanna use this same type of "non-permanent" solution so removing the grille will be easy for things like grille replacement or repainting.
Does anyone know what these small pieces are called? Or have any other non-permanent fastening ideas?
