zo6 screens for front side and rear. Just wondering if anyone has made a mod from a screen they bought at home depot, and how they got it to stay. I think it's possible with the right material.

Just checked, no write up in tips section on how to make them, just how to install the aftermarket ones.

You can get the real thing for between $79 and $99 or so on Ebay. Is it worth it to save $50-$60 bucks to make your own and hope it will look good and stay put? Not to me... (See my ebay set in my sig).

Bah, should have read the whole post... :o Thought you were talking about the front screens, sorry.

I'm not even involved in this thread and my name gets used in vain

Actually, I think neon would be quite sexy in the gills through the mesh...
