Default Air Vent Mesh Grill

I didn't like how you could see right through the air vents next to the fog lights on +97 OEM bumper so installed some mesh behind the openings.

Nice and subtle.

Is your driver fog loose? Mine lost the top screw and started to wiggle itself out.

As much as I like you car, I hate the mesh. Too teenage Honda for me.

Checked it and it was not loose but I will keep an eye on it.

I get what you are saying but I just did the 2 small vents not the entire front...It is really subtle....It is so much cleaner now not having too see right through those vents which looked like something was missing there.

Worked out well for me, I thought... (.... and so far no one has mistaken it for a Honda....)

Looks great, very subtle, I'll be doing something similar as well. I wonder how a mesh like that would look in the top bumper insert on a 97+ bumper instead of the couple chrome stripes.
