A few people have PMed me to ask how I did the foglight Airflow grille mod...

I went to Lowes and bought some gutter metal screen, painted it with plastiDip ( also purchased at lowes)
used the screws from the fog lights and bent the screen into place nice and flush. Turned out great for a low cost mod!

Kinda like the idea behind the Boss302S grille.... flow into the Air inlet tube to the airbox is right behind the drivers side foglight. as seen in the pics below.

VERY cool. Nice work and thanks for sharing! Just a thought regarding durability, stone chips, etc...

Do you think it would be better if primed and painted flat black first, so if it chips/peels, then black would still be behind it?

U could yeah, but if it ever gets chipped its an easy fix to spray it again without ever having to remove it!

Good man.

To the OP: Nice work. Looks really good. Loving the white with the SVT wheels.

Nice job. looks good!

obviously works best if you already have fogs on your CS lower. If you purposely remove your only set of fogs to do this mod, then that would be loco.

That looks pretty awesome!

That is cool as hell! :nice:

The only thing your car is missing is glass roof to complete the storm trooper look :nice: Very nice!

I tried this mod the other night. I could not get the screen looking that nice. I would love to see the backside of the grill to see how you have that mesh in there. For now I put the saleen grill in.

When you get the mod working and want to sell the Saleen Grille, PM me! lol

I completely agree. The CS lower facia with working fogs makes this mod very practical. Looks great! Best looking white GT I've seen in a long time.

Thanks Guys..
the mod takes some massaging to get just right, but it is well worth it!
You can see the air induction directly behind the drivers side screen.
The only shot I have from behind the grille is these two:
