Looks as good as Racing Beat to me, nice DIY.

Yeah, but MUCH cheaper....
No problem Rotary...I'll contact you when Im ready to install it. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking of putting on the side (I have a black 8) vents & rear end also....I wonder how that would look..... |

Do yourself a favor before you install it spray it with a rustoleum clear coat a guy at our store put them on his turbo protege and they DID RUST and the silver flacked |

Yes, I didn't mention it before but I did spray a layer of clear coat. You can see it in the photo below. How long did it take them to rust?

Rotary Rasp,
Thanks for the idea and the DIY instructions. I'm very pleased with how they turned out and best of all it cost less then 5 bucks to do. Used Rustoleum Gloss black...what do you think? And by the way I have a jeep too |
Looks good! What year is your jeep?

Here are the toys. Jeep is an 88 4.2L 3 spd auto. The jeep is in for some major mods including a lift and perhaps an engine overhaul in the future. The RX-8 will be getting clear sidemarkers and a Greddy Turbo by year end. I am a lucky man. :o

I have an 84 CJ-7, 4.2L inline six with the 3 speed auto. I'll see if I can find a good picture.

http://www.myrotarycar.com/people/Oi...tos/photo8.jpg Sorry, but it was inside the garage without any kind of decent illumination. I coated the mesh with some primer and painted them metallic black (rustoleoum). |

Same idea but with stainless steel mesh
|
Where'd you get the stainless steel mesh?!?!?!

It's made by RIPSPEED, From local Car accessories shop Halfords. May not be available in U.S.A, But i'm sure somebody will do something similer over there.
IMHO much better than ally or plastic. |
