Side Intake Mesh ?

I'm looking for advice regarding what size mesh in should use on my side air intakes ? My goal is to remove the factory "louvers", and create a simpler more stylish look . Any thoughts ?

JD,

No help on the mesh, sorry.

What's the deal with those openings? They look as if there's more going on than just the OE louvers being replaced.

Good eye. Basically, the the entire oem insert has been removed and replaced with just mesh . Here's another perspective on what I'm considering doing .

I like the mesh with the painted insert left installed. The depth is appealing to me.

Have you thought about black mesh versus yellow mesh?
