[@kevinwatson5190]

Nice video man, I'm considering doing the same for a 2018 model.

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

you should as it will transform the front face of your car

@@salfatgaragebuilds1636 great video! Do you kbow, if the front bumper from 2017 will fit on 2014?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

@@danijelivezic1485 In my personal view dont think it will fit perfect because of the fog light setup and other adjustments but i am not expert you can look on Mazda forums I am sure some must have tried that.

[@Casper_Brisbane]

mate i recently brought a honeycomb grille from ebay for my 2017 model and after pulling the car apart realised it did not quite fit , couldnt refit silver trim etc etc ended up sending it back , didnt get it from same place u brought yours but now im scared to do it again

[@Jp_da_goat0]

Hey I got a honey comb grille for my Mazda and the emblem had now back piece. Any way to fix such a problem?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

Emblem can be removed from both the new and old grill as i removed from my old grill and put it on the new one, there are 4 tabs on the back of emblem through which they can be easily removed

[@rolen1266]

Is the grille held in place with screws or just staples at the bottom? Someone parking hit me and the grille separated from the bumper only at the bottom.

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

I put screws every where i can and rivets on top portion so you need to secure them with screws

[@BlackBunik]

Do you remember if it is possible to install the chrome strip from the original grill? Or that part is fused with the new grill in black color?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

No, that part is part of the grill and cannot be switched with the chrome one's

[@BlackBunik]

@@salfatgaragebuilds1636 Damn, what a shame. I would love to keep it chrome while having the honey comb grill... Well, I'll have to figure out something else.

[@BlackBunik]

@@salfatgaragebuilds1636 Thanks for the reply though! Much appreciated.

[@AntzBoogie]

Does water leak under the hood now that there’s a gap there? Thanks bro for a good video.

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

No I never saw a single drop of water going through the gap in the engine bay

[@AntzBoogie]

@@salfatgaragebuilds1636 thanks for the reply really appreciate it!

[@brianmunro4234]

​@@salfatgaragebuilds1636 to reduce the gap you need to push while fastening the two screws left and right at the end

[@MultiProPlaY3rz]

Would you provide a link on the splitter you used for the front bumper

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

that i bought from a local guy and was installed in 2017 so unfortunately i dont have the link

[@milescawthra3048]

Those clips that didn’t fit you need to cut them off, that’s whats causing the gap between the bonnet

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

Thanks man will try that soon and update if it fixes the issue.

[@ericeff7361]

Thanks for making this video, how long did the process take you?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

You are welcome. Honestly this should be a 1 or max 1.5 hour job but it took me a while because some of my bolts and the rivet was not coming off initially and i have to improvise and take different routes. but if i will do it now with all the information it will be less time consuming.

[@engugaming1743]

Is it possible to install the Parking Sensors to the Honeycomb grill?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

you have to retrofit the sensors as there are not any predefined holes or space for that

[@simonrosario989]

Hi Did the number plate go on ok.? Cheers

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

Yes with no issues

[@thefunnyseeker437]

Does it fit in 2015 mazda 3 hatchback

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

I believe yes as the center part of sedan and hatchback are same

[@lucassuhadolnik3672]

I'd say the panel gap is from poor reinstalation

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

It might be possible as i have a plan to take them off and see where i can improve the installation

[@abdelebeid8248]

Will it fit on 2014 mazda 6?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

No I dont think so because the size is different for both car bumpers

[@greg2142]

Drilling required?

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

yes, very little just to take out the rivets otherwise not but if you know a different way of taking the rivets out then no drilling required.

[@christopherhaines4366]

Very disorienting when you hold the camera upside down. Good video otherwise

[@salfatgaragebuilds1636]

thanks for the tip as I am still learning, will be cautious next time
