Replace reflector with mesh?

I have seen people put mesh a mesh grille onto their grille.. but has anybody thought of putting mesh on the side reflectors instead of the reflectors? I dont think it would look bad at all..

I used mesh in place of mine. Looks great IMO, although I used a different type of mesh than the type you see in grills.

I have no idea what others are thinking. If you want mesh on the bumper do it.

Not a bad thought.. I would consider if i used OEM bumper... in for pix!

matte or flat back smallest mesh possible IMHO would look the best!

There are several pics of Nismo V1 bumper owners who have used mesh in place of reflectors.

Search around and you should be able to find examples in the Nismo thread in the Media Share or other places.
