These mesh grills replace those outdated plastic grills on the Front of the car (radiator/oil cooler intakes) , the top of the front clam (radiator exits) and the rear hatch lid.

The grills are made from high quality aluminum small diamond mesh that is laser cut for a great fit and powder coated in a satin black for a nice sleek finish.

No cutting or drilling for install.

All installation hardware is included.

The full kit comes with nine pieces, Front three inlets, top two radiator exits and four rear hatch grills along with needed hardware.

The center front grill does NOT have provisions for fog lights unless you note it.

I'm interested. I need to look at the hole configuration on my engine cover first tho.

Also, I won't be using the front mesh as I run naked there. So, if anyone reading this thread in the Bay Area wants just those, perhaps we can arrange something. I'll be back...

These look real cool, but the mesh seems pretty fine, won't this cut down on air-flow? Is this recommended for cars that race. Also, how are they attached? I could see some posibility that this might be more durable for autocross folks (the fronts get damaged by cones pretty frequently.. or maybe not. Anyone have any data on how these hold up vs traffic cones?

The opening area percentage with this mesh is 65-70% which is equal to or more than the plastic louvers.
I have tracked my car a lot and done a ton of autocross, Ive never noticed any excess heat as opposed to before having them.
The front grills are tucked into the clam so if you hit a cone it shouldn't even make contact. Ive hit a few in the front and the grills were untouched.

The front center grill and top radiator exits bolt it.
The rear hatch and small oil cooler inlet use a high tack 3m automotive tape that is hidden when istalled. I have been asked if heat or vibration would cause issues, I have been running mine for over a year without any problems and that has been at 100 degree track days etc.
No rattles to speak of from any of these, the aluminum doesnt put off any vibration.

No you do not,
The center grill pulls straight out of clips that hold it in on the top .
The smaller inlet grills have one retaining screw in the top of each one that can be accessed through the turn signal hole or through the wheel well with the liner out.
There was a great how to on the forums I will try and find it.
