I like that very much. Question: it appears that you used expended metal mesh in the grille opening. Is it aluminum? Did you paint it black or was it already anodized or painted? Home Depot or an auto supply outlet? Why didn't you put the same material in the other front-end openings? (Not a criticism, I am just trying to decide how to redo my own grill opening) Nice job!!

I'm not crazy about the kit-but it looks tastefully done at least!!! Very nice.

I think it looks great. Very clean, not a fan of CF hood on BB though

It was the mesh that came with the kits themselves. They are all painted black. The other two bigger opening didn't come with any mesh, nor tabs to attach mesh. That will be remedied soon enough. As for the smaller ones on the front & side, we wont put any there.

Thanks for all the other comments also!

I'm guessing that's authentic right? Regardless, it looks good.

Ill be the first one to personally say its not my taste at all, but it is "tastefully" done. I'm definitely not feeling the stock wing though...

Thanks for the comments guys.

No, its not authentic RMagic. (unfortunatly) If I had to go back I would have gone that route.

Big Red, I dont think being a kid has to do with anything. To each there own kid! =P just kidding(on the kid part)
