I removed the 2 louver things on the lower corners of my front end. Any comments on if i should be installing mesh in those two big areas along with the center grill area??? What would be an easy way to install the mesh if i would end up getting it??

The purpose of mesh is to keep object from hiiting your radiator and intercooler. THe area that has the big hole is between the front bumper and the lower lip

ah, okay, well if you're concerned with rocks and stuff flying up in there, then put mesh on it. drive around for a while, then check to see if anything gets there, then i guess you can tell if you need it or not.

I'm installing it to make it look better. The last thing i want to do is install a fiberglass front end ($200+) that will break in a yr......and spend $2oo to get it painted....oh, i forget the price to install it. It's got a 5in by 8+ inch empty spot.....looks kinda cool

installation...you could probably just screw the mesh straight to the bumper, seems like the easiest choice to get it on there. not an expert but sounds good :)
