and now the final product... still have a few touch-ups that you might notice that i will get to eventually. i needed to get my bumper on in a limited amount of time so i could get to work and school.

That looks great Gray!! I'm tempted to do it in order to help with airflow, but I'd want to stick with black mesh. Otherwise I think it would take away from my 6's overall look (white with legal limit window tint).

yeah, i was going for a more flashy look to lighten up the color scheme of my car. my next step is to get rid of those amber side markers and slap in a few clear ones.

would you happen to have a picture of your car STRON?

Well, I have a picture of my garage with the 6 in it, but it doesn't do it (or the garage) justice. I'll see what I can do about getting a picture up sometime in the next week or so. I'd do it sooner, but we're expecting a huge storm later today and it's expected to last through Monday. So, it may take a week to get a sunny day and get the car clean.

don't worry about it... I was just curious to see how it looked.

I know what you mean... my garage is normally a disaster

these pictures just don't look as nice as if you were to see my grille in person. that could be because of the camera quality and all... but you kinda get the idea of how the car should look.

wow, the mesh came out really clean looking, and the color goes against the color of your nicely. good job on that, would be nice to see the top portion meshed as well, but dont know if you will do that.

i'm planning on doing that eventually, but i want a different grille insert for the top... the sport grille style i have on mycar right now is the dilemma. I need to find an insert for that area that is completely open.

here's a picture of what i'm talking about. this helps get as much ventilation to my engine compartment as possible while stopping most debris in its tracks.
