While I'm putting in my 911 front end seems like the time to finally get some kind of wire over these big gaping holes. I've seen a pattern of holes drilled instead of the big cutout that looked pretty good but it's too late for me now.
Anyone got pictures of a nice wire finish job on these cutouts? |

Thom, I like that fine mesh. Yes it will restrict air, but I'd place my bet that it would be fine regardless.
I like welding in wire mesh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:http://www.paintandmetal.com/invoice/images/large_images/23_042340300%201148343057.jpg) |
