i have a 01' TL...can anyone tell me what i can do to the "vents" in the corners of the front bumper?...they look like vents...but not...lol...an idea i had was to cut the piece out n meshing it...what did some of u guys do?...thx...

 

You can mesh it or you can install foglights

 

check out some pix of both

 

i just meshed them out. It's about a two hour job because you have to drill a hole in the vent to begin the cutting and make sure you don't scratch up the sides because those will show after you mesh out the grills. It looks clean after you are all done. In terms of how to hold the mesh on, using some sort of flexible glue/caulk works great, but you have to consider drying time! taping the grill to the bumper using duct tape worked just fine for me in combination with the glue. Good luck and have fun!

 

i had mine painted. doesnt look half bad

 

that looks awesome tek...yea...i think im gona place my fogs in the center part...n mesh the 2 corners...do u think i should just dremel out the piece...then make it nice n smooth...then put on the mesh?...kuz i think thatll b the easiest...suggestions on that?

 

I painted it black if you seen later pics...

This is what I've done for the corners... I first took a piece of cardboard, and began cutting and shaping it to make a nice tight fit, then after that was done, i traced to the mesh, and cut it out. The way I cut it, so it would have sharp edges.....if you look closely, and you run yer finger thru the inside of the corner, you will notice a little indentation....basically the sharp edge got trapped by the indent, so no glue, no tape, nothing.....and It held beautifully.....no scratches either, since mesh is flexible you can squeeze it to fit it in, then let go, and it will hold itself nicely.

 

oh yeah, how rude of me, thank you for the compliment!

 

yo tekno from the pics of your stock HU it looks like your led backlights are much brighter than the stock ones. did you change all of them to brighter white leds or your exposure on those shots was longer and therefore they look brighter?

 

sorry bro, i dont get the question, what stock ones?

 

my bad i should have linked the picture

this one:


you see how the backlite of your headunit, air conditioner, clock, etc are of BRIGHT white? that's what i was referring to. my backlite are much dimmer so i was wondering if you changed them to brighter LEDs or something.

 

no I havent changed anything bro, except I did get rid off the HU.

probably the way the pic came out.

 

ahh... never mind then. thanks, though! rep+

 

thanx for the rep, its saying your rep is EVEN in this thread, does that mean someone gave me a negative also?

 

no clue... but maybe it's cuz i need to "spread the wealth" or so it says... haha i'll try again later once i give some points out to others!
