Couldn’t stand how the PO drilled 7 holes in the nose panel and put plastic grommets in them. Finally had them cut out, resprayed and black metal mesh installed.

That is a HUGE improvement and I think it looks very good. Looks like it could have come from the factory like that. Well done!

What a difference that made - I can see why you wanted the holes gone. Big improvement, for sure! :thumbup:

It's a matter of opinion as to whether or not the opening there is counter productive.

I have no doubt that is the case. In regards to this particular change however, my thoughts were that this was more about correcting a prior cosmetically subjective faux pas that was in need of some kind of correction.

Looks clean! I'm sure it helps with the high temps under the hood.
