    Hello all,

    today I cut up my grill and put a mesh (chicken fence) piece in to allow room for the new lights. I painted everything black including the chrome accents on the bumper.
    I also made an extended air dam the other day. Experimenting with ways to improve aerodynamics and mpg’s. So far it has improved highway millage by about 1. Considering I drive a couple hundred miles a week i’ll take whatever I can get. Not sure if it is worth the goofy looks though...
