Hello!

did you do your aero grills yourself? I've been going back and forth on them whether i should do it for about a year now.

im in northeast md..near rising sun

I did do the grilles myself...was a nail biter of sorts as you have to cut the bumper cover for them..came out fine but the tips of the lower section stick out a bit,,havent decided whether to "try" to fix it or leave it,,suspect i need to cut a bit more...was conservative when i cut the first time

ive done everything myself so far ( excpet the paint on the roof) and always willing to help out others

heres my interior...its a gray fabric that matches the speakersmesh pattern almost perfectly

the car was BONE stock, and was used as a commuter, so the silver interior parts were a bit rough...was a quick and cheap solution that i think turned out ok
