Ingenuity or Cheap?
Ok guys...what do you think?
A dollar something at Lowes for a galvanized rain gutter guard and $12 for WAY to much door edge molding (I could do 5 more sets) and about 30 minutes of work. |
I like it.
Way to go! |
Looks great! but how about the cooling of the engine?
Is it affected? |
Cooling is not affected at all. Actually mine is better than it was before I cleaned all the crap that had collected in there. I probably had about 25 to 30% of the radiator clogged.
I figured this would keep the stuff out of there without having to spend $110 or so for the "Professional" ones! :) |
Although, I am a little embarrassed at how dirty my car is in that picture...
|
Great job! I will take two please. since you have enough for 5 more. haha :cheers:
|
Great!
Any chance you could trace your final outline and post a scan of it so we poor leechers could just "cut on the dotted line" to follow you? You may be able to find silver or grey tie wraps to make it look just that much better... |

I think I can use a stainless bolt with a straight (well sort of) nut thingy on the backside that will straddle the two fins. Anyone know what thats called? |

Looks good, although I'd agree that the zip ties need to go! Some safety wire, used discreetly would probably look okay. |

If you don't have a bunch of junk...I'd try it with a shop vac just to see if it works. |

I think they look great as well. |
sdkkv, possibly you can re-install them with a few (4-6) strategically dabs of clear silicone sealant??

Door Edge Guard
Consider some door edge guard around the screen edge -- may give a more finised look. Or you may be able to place the screen between the original plastic grill and the bumper cover to hold it in place. Just a few thoughts.

when i changed my front bumper i had the choice of mesh or original turbo grill, i went for the original look as i wasn't amazed with the mesh ,a little bit too horticultural for me, ie garden edge

Ha-ha! I was chipping/shoveling the ice off the driveway a few days ago because it reached nearly 50 degrees here, and looked up just in time to see a brother Boxster (Arctic Silver?) drive by with the top down. Took advantage of the warm spell to get a few more outdoor tasks done before we resume sub-freezing temps...
No rush on the outline, it will literally be months before I'm going to be doing more work on the car. Thanks! Quote:
