Looks pretty good.

I did my own home depot mod, by using dryer ducts for brake ducts. People said it wouldn't hold up, but it held up for a month, including going 120 mph+, and doing 80 mph in the rain. I ended up just taking them off cause I didn't want them to fall off, but when i took them off, it took me 30 minutes to purposely get them off.

Worth every penny!
I did something similar.
No need to leave the new investment unprotected.

How did you attach the screen to the bumper?


Just used the HE bolts you can see where I attached it in the first pic.

Real easy took me 5 minutes.

Looks good man. Cheaps mods are great eh?
My only suggestion would be to paint the HE bracket screw and washer flat black to match.
BTW--Thanks JP for giving me the heads up on your HE cover--it gets alot of positive comments.

I like that mod and the way it turned out. Protecting a very expensive HE with a very small investment is great plus it looks good too.

Same here, has worked well for two weekends on track, I know its getting air to the rotors because I found some really well done dragon flies in the rotor veins, used the "sorta rigid" alumunum with tin elbows.
