WingsWest 3D mesh installed

[505zoom]

I installed the WW mesh in the lower grill today, I did not have quite enough from one sheet to do both grills. That's okay though because now I have some extra mesh to make some custom fog covers.

After having the stock upper grill off the car, I don't think that there is an easy way to install this mesh there. I am now going with an aftermarket grill like the DG, and will install the 3D mesh in that.

There is a small blemish along the top, just right of center, that got a little bent and wasn't very apparent untill it was back on the car. I will be fixing that tomorrow, so I only took one pic today:

I threw those on from my other car for the winter months, they are Motegi Racing universal 17's. As you can see, they are the gunmetal, 7 spoke wheels.

post some zoomed in pics of the edges especially so i can see how u attached it. i had to kinda mickey mouse mine in there...

I was JUUUUST able to get enough mesh out of one sheet for the autoexe grill and for the lower grill but it was close, i called up WW to b**** to them about putting the 4 inches of solid aluminum along one side......

(lol) Yeah, I guess I did too. I just bent the mesh to the shape of the old grill, and then attatched it by bending the edges around the back of the opening. It still isn't perfect, so I will post some pics later this week when I finish. The lower right corner is still a little sketchy, and the bend along the top edge is not quite the same all the way across. Other than that though, it's almost perfect.

Also, I'm hopefully getting a better camera tomorrow, so I will probably take a lot of new pics this week. I just finished my blue interior lighting today, but my camera just doesn't take very good night shots so you can't see all of the lights.

Yeah, if the solid part had been punched, it would have been easy to do both. I traced out the stock grill onto the center of the sheet, and then cut about 1" extra all the way around so I could attatch it the way I did. If I hadn't used the extra, I could have made one for the autoexe style grill for sure. Actually, how wide of a strip did you use for the autoexe grill??? I haven't seen one in person, but I think I might actually still have enough. Thanks man.
