yeah.. the mesh will look tight up in the front.
good luck on getting the ACS type spoiler too. it took me awhile if you remember how long i waited for mine. keep up the good work/mods. | well, it will prolly take me a little while too, I'm not much of a go-getter  Quote: Originally Posted by <( '.' )> Horrible | Quote: Originally Posted by jgrimm I love this man

The paint looks great, though... | yes, well, the paint did come out very good, lol, if you absolutely must kick a puppy, kick my ex's pug  Quote: Originally Posted by TECH TI Looks so much better!

Now just lower it and swap or supercharge it!!! haha | I hated my grey skirts even before the kit, lol, I just need to wait for my dad to wreck his M3 and I'll be all set =D | | | | | 08-01-2008, 02:27 AM | #33 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

yeah i do like that about the ti, i do that since my lipless front bumper is to low anyways and i am still usually parked further in than most people. __________________
