Custom mesh front grill with pics

So I added the rims for a more aggressive look. I still wasn't getting the full effect that I wanted. I started looking the car over and realized the front grills weren't giving the car the aggressive super car look it should have been. SOOOO I decided to do a little mesh install. Here are some photos. If anyone else wants to do this just let me know and I will post a DIY. It is very simple and takes about three hours start to finish.

I dont want to do black because it will defeat the purpose of doing the grill. It wont be as noticeable. I like the silver cause it matches the wheels and the interior.

They say it's better to try and fail than to not try at all. A for effort.

I can't really tell if I like it or not. I'd have to see it in person. I do agree with the idea of making the grilles stand out a little more on a dark colored car.

Nice Mesh, where did you get it? Personal preference on weather to black out or not. It does match well with wheels.

Congratulations, that looks terrible. That DIY mesh only looks good in black. Your car looks great minus those grills. The black mesh looks great because its subtle. Light will reflect over it and the mesh will still be visible. The raw silver looks so bad, especially since it has a funny bend to it so as it binds up it looks worse and worse. This is seriously some AutoZone crap. I think you would agree your car deserves better.
