Front Licence Plate Cover
Ive seen the Mesh Plate cover for the Front Licence Plate. Is this mod worth it, is it easy to install, and where can I buy one. Thanks....I did search too with no luck.

I have one that I was told came from LG(I bought it used). The fit is very imprecise, leaving a large gap at the top when fastened with the OEM screws. If you get one, make sure you can return it if it doesn't fit to your liking. I didn't pay much for mine, but the $250 one needs to be perfect to justify that price, IMO.
Pfadt put one together with their front mount oil cooler kit, it looks nice in pictures. The Halltech one looks OK too. The factory C5 kit racers look to have an OEM cover, which was then cut to fit a screen into.

I have a Halltech Tunnel Port. I Love it. It's makes my Car stand out! The fit was very good. There is a little larger gap on the bottom, but the screws are located there. Looking at my Car from a Standing height the gap looks better. These are the only pictures I had of the Front. I did have to do some sanding & use a little filler for Final Painting. I took my Car's Paint code from the Glove Box to a Sherwin Williams Automotive Paint Store.
They were able to make my Car's exact Color in a Rattle / Spray Car right there in the Store in 15 minutes. (Yes I said Spray Paint!) I also bought a Rattle Can of Automotive Clear. I Primed / Painted and Cleared it my self for $90 + $250 for the Tunnel Port. It looks awesome, like it was Factory. Looks really aggressive. I've had a few people ask me if I was Turbo Charged. I think because of the tunnel Port.
Good Luck. I cannot say I felt a seat of the Pants difference, But It sure does funnel the Air right into my Blackwing!..
