alright, from the looks of your car, it is a sII gtst. I also own one of these, and i'll tell you that you cannot install mesh due to that gay plastic behind the front bar. That needs to come off to install an fmic anyway. What you do, is you use a jigsaw and cut it off. Then sand it back. It has been covered how to take hte front bar off. Do something difficult. It's called search. Also, if you're gonna saw it, why put mesh and be a rice boy? put an fmic!

Also just to mention ALL mesh should be black!

That is all...

Well silver mesh is semi-acceptable in some cases. But it will get lost in a wall of silver if your car is silver.

White mesh well... That is Evo kitted Lancer Coupe territory...

I cannot recall any Skyline related application where non-black mesh has looked "good"

Silver mesh on Carbon bonnet vents should be punishable by something really yucky

But it is your car and this is only my opinion, so feel free to ignore it

i thought the point of the mesh is to gel in with the body ...mayb im wrong i dunno i cant visualise black on silver body

Gojira.....sorry but this is my opinion...... get some style

Oh and that mesh in front of a FMIC performs a function

[95GTST]

wtf? who puts mesh in front of their front mount?

[morlock]

Someone who doesn't want the fins damaged by foreign objects.... e.g. stones, low flying birds etc...

and someone that isnt concerned about showing off the fact that they have a fmic.

Yes, but the mesh infront of your front mount reduces the air flow. (Depending upon the mesh I believe it can be by 15 - 40%- cant remember where I read this to back up these figures)

im guessing here, but i would have thought that the pressure would push it through anyway. thats assuming that the holes are a decent size, not tiny.

ive been wanting to cover my holes with mesh since i got my car. it looks a lot neater and it makes it harder for cops to spot the cooler. plus i want to spray it black.
