the ones you made dont look at as bad
Yeah I couldnt get myself to pay $150 for such a simple thing. I just got the mesh from home depot. Spray painted it gloss black and screwed it on. Flattened the edges with some light tapping using a hammer for a better fit. I was hoping it would be a little less see-through, but the mesh material is too thin. Still not bad for something that cost me a total of $9 dollars lol.

Yeah the fit is great. I had to drill out all the holes for the screws n stuff, but the marks where I had to drill were spot on. I would give it a 9 outta 10. It lines up well with the rest of the car.

I'm glad you're getting spacers because IMHO the car just looks awkward with the wheels sunken in like that. The rest of the car is money......except the ebay headlights.

Man, love the car and all but I don't think there's anything better about those headlights vs oem ones.

I forked up the money for the powder coated mesh and what a waste it was. The build was great but the painter got overspray on it. Silver paint on black... you get it. So in the end it was just painted black.

I installed the Impul sideskirts. Fitment is an 8 outta 10 in my opinion. I could probably get it to fit perfectly if I spent some more time on fabrication....but once the whole car is the same color then the little imperfections wont even be noticeable. I think its good enough

Yup...the front is good. The rear bumper sits a bit too high for my taste at the moment but I already got the mud guards to fix that...just havent installed it yet.

I did the same thing to get the corners to sit better. It couldve been perfect if I spent more time on it but I had to go somewhere so I just cut it short..I might fix it one day if I ever get bored.

And u wanna see the inside of the car? Its all orginal except for my DDin stereo....nothing special really.

Just screwed it into the frame. Looks ugly, but I'll cover it up and take some pics tomorrow in the daytime.
