finally got around to installing these things after receiving them a few weeks ago. packaged well, and everything that would be seen looked very good. paint match looks to be 100% to me, and i'm very happy with them. my only problems were due to my big hands and arthitis. i took Tob's idea on install and improved upon it (didn't see anyone do it like this)...
to my door was in the $450-$500 neighboorhood...

use painter's tape on 3 sides to attach mesh and lower frame to easily put in the hood. due to the thickness, and they were attached - you can easily line them up to where they need to be and they stay in place.

once everything attached,the painter's tape comes right off and out with no proof of it being used. you can see the lower part is painted alloy (G5).

Very nice work, Joseph. Now people will say ....sick! Very Brisk-Like!

I dig the fact that the sharp corners on the lovers will tear up a towel in a heartbeat. Need to dry the car in a front to rear motion to avoid snags.

yeah, learned that one the hard way. will definitely take some getting used to. i was surprised at how small the openings were in the stock vents.
