Ok, I`ll look into that... This is turning out to be very afforable, functional, and flat-out bad ***.

Anyways, any issues with rain, etc getting into the engine bay? My Z stays in a garage 80% of the time but I track it and I like going to meet-ups on the weekends. I don`t want to damage anything...

Since my VIS had ok fitment, I sacrificed it lol turn out decent after all

It took 4 hours to finish everything. All tools needed were a dremel, googles, and masking tape.

I'm having someone more experienced do mine. I just ordered my EBAY mesh so I should have it done in 1-2 weeks.

Check with DTM Autobody. They were the folks who worked on my hood. I had them installed hood pins while they were at it.

Just got this back a couple of days ago. I was going to wait for the weekend to snap day photos but I'll be at work this whole weekend.

I used Ebay grille mesh as suggested and used the template that Abishop uploaded. Job looks awesome and the pictures can't speak for how it looks in real life.
