I like it better without the mesh. Also it looks like the bumper now has a bit less design than the other body panels...you should have someone add some more to it to make it look even.

Yeah definitely put a black mesh. That other mesh is too much.

no mesh at all? It looks like crap in person that way. You can see the radiator and the horn and stuff. lol

Yeah, I know what no mesh, no grille looks like in person and it doesn't look too hot.
I stand on black mesh!

wow, i had seen the picture in your sig before, but i figured it was just something you had done in a photo editing program, i didn't realize it was ACTUALLY the way you had your car painted, that is crazy, but it looks absolutly amazing, i do agree that on most cars some form of mesh (understated is better IMO) is needed to cover up the nastyness of the crap behind the bumper, but it looks sweet man, congrats

Car looks great, Jo!! I like the new version better with less 'swirlies'.
And black mesh, definitely.
How's it running otherwise? They do a good job of putting her back together?

Looks awesome...Black mesh is definitely the way to go..I think I might do the same on mine....I like the front..doesn't look as "busy"
