good to see others agree with my inclination. top grille it is then.

as for lexan vs coroplast, i will have a piece big enough that is left over from my undertray. so the decision will be purely cosmetic. well it would be lighter too.

black mesh over clear plastic that will reflect light. or black mesh over black. i'm thinking the coroplast will be easier to attach. guess i'm leaning towards spray painted black coroplast behind the top grille. if i don't like it, i'll still have the lexan and can worry about fitting it later if i need to.

local sign shop does not have black. dark blue is my best option i think. that painted black will still be dark when it chips where white will show with wear.


well i can get some coroplast Monday to do the 1st sketch. hopefully soon i will cut and attach the lexan to the underbody! 2 years later. man how much gas $$ could i have saved?
