I'll give you some time to get ready... THE MESH IS OUT!!!!!!!! I blacked out my grills and finally used the Cosmo Racing badge that's been in my center console since I installed the intake, the only mesh is in the seemingly empty foglight hole spray painted black since my air filter sits right behind it and I want it to get air (don't tell me it doesn't make a difference ) | | | 07-06-2008, 02:01 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | get rid of the badge!!! pronto!!! | | | 07-06-2008, 02:03 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | ok, I'll stick the mesh back in then | | | 07-06-2008, 02:04 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | its not a discussion get rid of i now!!!!!

The badge definitely doesn't belong, but it's your car and it's better than the mesh. Perhaps it would look nice somewhere in the engine bay or on the actual CAI?

It won't be long before your car is in tip top shape and envied by other forum members if you continue to take care of it and fix it up little by little. I understand that there's starving students out there and not everyone can afford to drop the money that some of us have to make their cars look and perform like no other. If you follow mine and Bluebimma's threads, you'll see that it's possible to have a cleanly modded car at minimal costs. I've came across some outstanding deals and passed a few of them up, but most of the parts and mods on my car have been paid for by selling the original parts. I've actually spent very little getting my car in the shape that it's in, you just have to be patient and refrain from spending money on unnecessary and distasteful mods. If you only do the cheap stuff, your car will look cheap. Sometimes simplicity is a cleaner route to go. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
