Default Front Plate Screen MOD by Quick Z06 Installed *PICS*

I bought a front plate off the auction, sent it out and had it finished in Navy Carbon Fiber to match my engine bay and interior. Then I sent it to "Quick Z06" to have the screen mod done. Quick Z06 did a great job on the plate and at a very reasonable cost. I did not want to cut out the large area that most people remove from the fascia so I decided to experiment with a 2" hole saw first, I could always cut out the plate area if I did not like the holes.

I might paint the inside area flat black and the holes will dissappear?

Looks great...

Oh, and yeah, I too would paint the interior of the plate flat black to camouflage the holes and give a "deeper" appearance.

Great job.

Ahh so if you've done the Callaway Honker or flip-tie mod it won't help?

"Quick Z06" is a supporting vendor. $59.00 shipped. You supply the plate.
