Like the drill black but I am not feeling the mesh. I don't like that type of mesh on anything so it's not just your car.

^Agreed. I'm not a huge fan of mesh in general, but it doesn't look all that bad. At least you made it flat black so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb.

The grill and emblems look great

+3. The mesh needs to be worked on a bit.

The mesh should be reworked. Next time try a bigger mesh pattern, I think it'll look better.

Looking good but you need to black out the trim below the rear emblem on the trunk to make it complete.

its a prototype damnit! lol. ok this is what i really want to do but im so ffreakin lazy! aight check it. i want to take the grill out. cut out the plastic grid and put mesh behind the grill. it will look deeper and not stick out as much. in fact i dont think you wil see it unless u stand up close to it. same goes for the lower grill. ima cut out the plastic grid. as for the size of the grid. it is staying like cltothe TL32 said it does not stick out like a soar thumb. i want that. i like the stealth look not the look at me look.

I'd go with mesh with larger holes if that makes sense. For the lower grilles, it might be good to try to mimic the mesh/look used on the TL Type-S.

A+ for effort, but I would've kept the "A" stock looking. As for the mesh those will be collection bugs,bees,critters,debris etc. in no time. GL
