Very cool. Can't wait to see them on the car. I think I'm really going to like the sides. Are you also doing the rad. and engine vents?
Edit: I'll learn to read one day. lol. I see my answer in your post.

 

[Exigin]

I thought you already did this? Must have been another CO elise.

LOok good.

Update when you done!

 

[andrewgotanelise]

you want to do my fronts ?

 

[jpryor27]

Keep up the good work! I was hoping to be lazy and just pay someone for a complete set (that wasn't overpriced), but i may just have to bite the bullet and DIY it. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[cd4age]

Keep up the good work man! it's looking great so far!

This just reminded me that u asked me for more pics of the side grills I did in the other thread and I totally forgot! Sorry, it's probably 2 late but I'll still take some tomorrow.

I couldn't see the front mesh. I had to brighten the image a bit.

 

[madden]

sorry, i had to take pics in my garage because the car is up on stands.
I'll pull the car out and take better pictures when its all done

:coolnana: Great car Madden, when I get an Elise in a few years (maybe 3-4 lol) You should do mine XD Make a kit and sell it, a no-clam change/no-drilling Elise Mesh Kit for all Fin-sections is a Winner, I'd buy it =D

Wow great job! I am still trying to work up the courage to try this my self.

 

[madden]

finally got the right side vent on the car and I am in love with the look. It was a pain to get it perfectly smoothed and fitted but I got it on. Cant wait to get the LH vent on now.
I went with satin black and it fits perfect, check out the difference compared to stock...

That looks awesome! Nice Job!!!!

Good job. Can you give more details on making the front grills. How you shaped them etc.

Thanks

 

[Cali]

Nice work, man. The side vents look amazing...

 

[madden]

I made like 5 templates out of posterboard first to get it fitting perfect, then cut out the shape of the opening from a 1" thick piece of wood. I extended the mesh about 1" off the dies when I cut it out, then hammered it around the wood cutout to get the right angle bends as close as possible. Test fit it to the car, did some more pounding to adjust it.

 

[Bob Dz.]

Great job. Looks a hell of a lot better then the plastic crap fins.

I wonder how it would look if you had the mesh the car color?

 

[sleepe]

looks oem.

What size wheel spacers do you use?

 

[madden]

I dont think I have any spacers on there.

 

[madden]

here are a few updates.
I ended up having to grind out the oil cooler grill brackets and adding the mesh.
finished up both side scoops and am in the process of smoothing the radiator plastic...
