RaceMesh install over weekend..PIX

Here are some of my pics of my racemesh install. I did both sides without taking the wheels off. Found it best to reeach in the well with one arm and reach thru cove with hand when pressing it into my sealant. BEST sealant ever...rock solid!!! no mess..Wrists got cut up by the well cover but all in all the Side Coves were wayyyyyyyyyyy easier for me then the back mesh by the vents...even slightly easier then the front ones oddly...thought id share! So anyone going to do this mod, just know it CAN be done without wheel removal if you dont a jack etc etc...

Doing the front CF Plate screen mod and using 3inch door hole drill to bore out the holes...Venom air filter coming next!

ps~ Using the bungee method was perfect!!

thanks appreciate that! Was really worried bout it, from all the horror stories I read about doing the coves...but it was really the easiest, albeit bit awkward...

What kind of sealant? I bought mine from Ecklers years ago and it is held in place with lucite blocks taped to the fenders.

The Racemesh screens are the best quality out there. The standard screens just can't compare to the Racemesh screens.

I put some on my C5 too. Love the look and did both sides in about 30 minutes total. Very easy mod.
