Like aluminum honeycomb mesh?



I was looking at mine and it wouldn't be hard to do and fit in the locations on hood vents where the plastic is right now, just buy a sheet of material and cut away.

I was curious if anyone has done this and have pics? I would like to see how it looks.

It seems like a polished or brushed aluminum both would look good....especially against a red or black car.

 

I'm really suprised nobody has done this mod

 

I am in the middle of making new front hood vents. They look in between ram air and a naca duct, backed by polished mesh. Totally cosmetic! It doesnt change the appearance much unless you know the car, then you will notice. Its not a major difference because after all its still the dimensions of the original two front openings. I like it because it is a subtle change.

 

If my vents were broken i probably would look to something like that mesh, as it would look good, i would just be concerned about keeping it clean and what some of the elements may do to them. Post pics if you go this route!

 

That sounds cool, let us see pics when the finished product is done

 

I had some of this material leftover after making a grille for my 95 Explorer. Decided to make grilles for the T/A with the leftover mesh and looked to see if anyone else came up with the same idea. To my surprise, someone had. Anyway, here are pictures of what it looks like if anyone's interested. Not too noticeable on the car, but I think details make a difference.



I plan on making grilles for the side vents too, so they all match.

 

I like the way mine looks with the mesh removed, but I've got to say yours looks pretty sweet Nick ^
