Looks like he tried to cut out pieces for mesh or something. I think the car looks good though....although....it could go lower.... lol. (So could all my Xmods)





(psst...put a huge intercooler in that space you could do the piping and everything!!)

the only problem i have with going lower is that i have to take alot out of the inside of the car i might do the intercooler...but should i mesh the entire front midde?

be sure to fill in the rear bumper with mesh, and I believe you should create an intercooler like civic_guy said however make it to where the intercooler and piping stick out a bit, however you might want to put a mesh in with the intercooler anyway since you have it on the rear bumper!!!...or you could mesh the spots on the front bumper where the piping is showing and leave off the mesh where the actual part of the intercooler is

sounds like a good idea...ill be sure to try that ill post pics once i have it done...
thanks for your imput everybody

your very welcome, and I would go ahead and search the net and look at what cars that have intercoolers look like with mesh and such. That is if you do go with the intercooler, if not then I would put mesh all over the front and rear bumpers (everywhere there is a hole at) and I would only do this if you decide NOT to go with an intercooler!!!

yeah if you do an intercooler don't put mesh over it (wont be as aggressive or look as good imo) but you could even have the piping going through the smaller holes and not put mesh over those either.

Here's a link to a pic of what im talking about

See how the intercooler pipes can be seen? you could do that and if those holes on the side still seem big just make the piping a bit bigger.

Try those old hobby shops. I believe the most popular company that makes styrene material is a company called 'Evergreen'.

o suggest getting some small mesh and painting it black!!

[librarianliam]

i have the mesh its from an old window screen do you think that will work?

[mxracer154]

yes that whould work very well i suggest you paint it black though as i have seen a tc with black mesh and it is the BOMB!!

[librarianliam]

yeah im gonna make it black or maybe some other crazy accent color i put on my car havent really made up my mind on it though...ill cross that bridge when i come to it...

yea that would be the best thing, but I have to find some styrene tubing or something similar to it for one of my GPM parts!!!
