I think it could look good IF you had the right mods....a stock looking 91-92 car probably wouldn't look to good with the mesh....

Zephyr I never noticed you had camaro ground effects they look good.

As far as mesh goes I would put it as far into the vent as possible, the best way would be to bend the edges and then use bondo or sometype of body putty to attach it to the gfx. No one will look in there to see how they are attached any way and if you paint the putty no one would know any way.

I actually might do this when I get my new gfx. I know that I am going to put some mesh behind the foglights when I get my new grill.

Thanks,
I am trying to put all the nice looking parts from the 3rd and 4th gen cars onto mine. Hopefully it will look good when it's done.

Hey Manny, your car is looking its correct color for once.

I like that hood on you're car better then any of your previous hood. It flows alot better than it does on a Forumla in my opinion. Dunno why, it just fits perfectly.

I'll have to swing by some time and see it up close. Looks awesome, can't wait to see your ride on the street this summer.

Mine will be back in operation around the same time

Thanks Mike.
I should have the car up and running in a few weeks if all goes well. I am still trying to get the funds to participate in the Players Run Rally. As a matter of fact, I just got off the phone with one of the organizers and he would really like to see my car entered in to the event so that there is some diversity since most of the cars are Lambos and Ferraris. So I am looking for some sponsors to help cover the entry fee and get the rest of my parts purchased and installed.
