What did you guys with the INgs front do about mesh grille? Where did you get it and how did you attach it?
Edit:
WHat about this in a 12x48 sheet in Black? Is it enough and would Black be a nice contrast? How the hell does this attach? I don't think there are any tabs on the inside of the bumper.

If I go with a black bumper grill, should I have him shoot the hood grill Black? Or would that be a problem being that it probably has clearcoat on it?

I'm having him spray the hood grills black. Ordering the front right now.
Edit, DO I really want the 12" sheet or should I go with 2 6x36 sheets? How big is the opening on the bumper?
Meh, just looked at pics, it's def bigger than 6 inches..

I just wanted to be sure I got something in a hefty gauge and I wanted powdercoat not paint.
Getting a lil nervous/excited. Semi-bubbleguts ftl.
I'm trying to plan out the rest of my install work so it goes smoothly with no down time. What I have left to do:
Possible single turbo over the winter.
Edit: Just ordered 6 feet^2 of 3M DiNoc
Edit 2: Ordered antenna

Ugh I like how the car came out, but the hood/bumper gap is nuts. Is there anything I can do to close it up some? I'm taking it back next week to have the clear wetsanded and to reinforce the front bumper. I'm thinking I can shim the bumper bolts to close the gap? What can I do here?
Either way:

Oh and the car is a neckbreaker, BTW.
I got three compliments on my way to work and countless people were checking out the car, lol..

Well, I'm taking it back next week and we are going to try to adjust it then. I just wanted the car back at this point. I'm working on a design to reinforce the INGs bumper. Kinda like those supports you see on some bumpers..
