I put a grill on the first one but took it off because didn't like the look.

AUG!!!!... I tried doing this last night... but I messed up a big... I can fix it.. but in the mean time I gotta spend 20 bux to get a new vent 
but its not over yet im still working on it... Im using a dremmel I must say the plastic is hard to sand is not the best thing to work with... I also got to go to the store and buy some filler stuff for little pits etc... But After i finish this one grille I will check it out to see if i want to do the work on the other grille.

Do you have some full-view photos of your car posted somewhere? How did you do the porthole-with-strake on the upper fender. VERY nice! I'd lke to see the whole car.

I think i'll be attempting this too. I'm not a fan of bugs, or spare water when it comes to being in places of the car it's not supposed to be, or at least where I don't want it to be, this is a good thread. I made one like it, with no luck on a start like. I searched, but i apparently used the wrong keywords 
Glad i found this
Though I prolly won't do it for a while, I'm looking foward to putting it on my list of "To do" things.
