yeah, it's not all that. i mainly got it to protect the radiator and A/C condenser from debris (how i lost my A/C when i had my GTI). it's flat black and made of plastic. i'll post some pics once i install it (when i get some time too).

lol...i was anticipating one of those. i just got it in the mail today. it was rolled up, so i'm letting it sit under my friends text books (see, those books aren't completely useless). it's been under for about half an hour. i'll go take a look and snap a quick pic of it. brb...

Looks good. I guess you have to cut it to size to cover the grill properly?

yeah, it's a little too big in length, width, and height. once it flattens out, i'll tape it to the bumper, outline the mesh with some white out, and then cut. the only way i can think of how to install it is with black zip-ties on to the OEM "bar" grill...i have to get ready for my date now...check back here later on tonight.

Its just chickenwire mesh fence till you fit it to the car, then you'd have chickenwire on the car.

i'll have to wait until i have some time to trace out the bumper opening onto the mesh, and then cut it out. i have an essay to write and a book to read this week. but i'll try to do it tomorrow. just got the grill today, and i had plans today, so i couldn't do anything with the grill.

i used chicken wire on my first car, a '92 Miata.

most simple way, i would think, is to use zip-ties, how i'll be putting it on.

That’s some great news!! I hope they take it all out and put in another new system or their top of the line one. Take responsibility for your trouble! :smile:

okay, just got done installing it. took a lot longer than i thought it would. but being night here already, i'll have to take some pics of it tomorrow after i get back from my classes. it's not too noticable, so don't expect much. i'll start another thread tomorrow, if i get the chance to snap some pics of it.
