| What if you trimmed out an ellipse the shape of the Riv emblem, letting it pop through the mesh? I think that would look pretty sweet. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

| That looks pretty nice Sam, but I agree with robo, detach the "R" from in behind the mesh and attach it to the front. | |

| I must say, that looks pretty sweet. Congrats Sam, I am sure you will be getting lots of looks around town. One question, how did you get the mesh to conform to the contour of our grill? | |

| Got it to form by bending horizontally first. Then, after some bloody fingers, I pushed the top and bottom in as I went along in the final install. I left about half an inch on each end and cut about an inch slit of the plastic so I cull pull it through and bend it over. I also put a 1/4 piece of chrome molding around to hide any imperfections. This stuff is SHARP and will cut you without you knowing it. | |

| Oh wow, I just noticed the chrome strip! That's a good idea since it hides any gaps very well, and looks like it belongs. | |
