Over-Cooling Solutions

ResIpsa

This mod makes sense for all of us with our hoses and connections blocking the top of our coolers.

1) I taped of the front of the grill with painters tape and newspaper to block over spray. The smoother you tape the grill the better your finished product will look. Also, make sure you cover the area behind the license plate bracket as this will be your primary mounting surface.

2) The materials I used were fiberglass cloth and 3M high strength adhesive available at your local auto parts store.

3) I sprayed the adhesive on the tape and began layering the fiberglass cloth.

4) Make sure to spray the adhesive on first and let it get tacky before layering it on the cover.

5) After layering around three or four layers of cloth I let it dry.

6) Next I spray painted the cover with a heavy coat of flat black paint. The paint acts as the binding agent on the front of the cover.

7) When the paint dried I carefully peeled the fiberglass cover off the grill. Use a scissor to clean up the edges and a hair clipper to smooth out the fiberglass hairs on the front of the cover.

8) Voila! A form fitting and less noticeable front grill cover.

9) Attach it using a hole in line with the license plate bracket and clips available from your auto parts store.

And I can confirm that this method is effective.
