I still have to fiberglass, and get them molded in right, but what do you think so far? And yes i did cut the car. And the back by the wheel wel and also made a fiberglass shield to protect the interior and speaker back.

hey man, you do your thing...i also put some vents in the side of my ride (nsx "style") and i like them. there are a lot of people on this site that like the clean look though, so don't bother with the haters. i think that they'll look sweet when they're finished!

Anyway, NSX-mod was great! Looking forward to when it's all done. I really love that look though.. And the MR-2 dams too.. They look sweet! (then again, the MR-2 dam look on the somewhat new Eclipses are UGLY). --------------------  |

Yay, got to look at the insides of my car. Its hard for me to get into the interior of my vehicle due to a brace for the verts welded in there. I think I can do the job from the outside though. I took some photshop pics the other day to find the right placement. i think when done right, they look good. Im actually going to use fiberglass cloth and resin to glue down the vent with rivets, then Ill sand downd the rivet heads and use rage or kittyhair for the mold. Cant wait to see yours kaddet!
