Thanks STG. Mesh was $ 64 (w/shipping) and took a few hours to install. T

Tony!

Forgot to mention. It just hit me.

I spray painted my side silver radiators black because you could still see them at certain angles through the grills. Just a very light dusting. For what it's worth.

The center radiator I got installed was painted black from Porsche already.

After testing a few different adhesive caulks, etc, the JB Weld was the clear winner on the tug tests. Will try and finish up this simple mod later today. bluetura, almost all of our neighbor's have bay boats and occasionally drop off fresh fish at the house. Think I'm the only car guy in da hood. When are you due in Rockport ? T

So you just put the mesh on the fender and squeezed the JB Weld through the mesh?

Looks like you cleaned and maybe sanded the plastic liner surface for better adhesion?

Scuffed and cleaned surface, (yes for better adhesion) mixed up a batch of JB Weld and applied right through the mesh. Fed Ex just delivered the swapped lights and will hopefully finish it up by days end. T

You are a lucky man to have neighbors come by bearing fresh fish! I was the only car guy back when I lived in a certain gated community. The kids loved it when I came 'snarling' by in my 'too loud' GT3. The adults not so much.

I have pushed my trip to early February and then going on down to Apalachicola Florida for awhile. I will give you a holler for sure. Thanks for sharing your mods!

Feb weather might be better because the current forecast is awful. Silver head & blinker lights swapped in today and they look great and even came with the expel ? coating. Will take pics of the inner W/W liners hopefully tomorrow. T
