Look good..I tried them but couldn't get the material around the edges to work out not to mention the template I got wasn't right and I had to modify it several times to get it close

I downloaded the template. I printed them out full size with Paint. It was on 3 sheets of paper. Cut those out, taped them together, traced that onto cardboard, cut that out and it fit pretty damn good.

The screens have kind of a natural curve to them. The template is reversible for left or right. I got lucky, but make sure when you use the template to have the outer part of the curve facing the outside of the of the template.

yahoo ... now you too look like the ricer down the road.
sorry but this is one mod i believe you should actually buy or at least get the z06 style screening (like mentioned on frc.com)
it looks way too cheap for a 50k car.
$0.02

I think I have to catch myself not to go to wacky modding my toy or, you are right, I will have a semi-ricer.
