This cost me no dollars, and about an hour... came out pretty good I think. I used a hole saw and drilled out a hole at each end, then cut across the middle with a cut off wheel. I found an Acura MDX rear sub speaker grill, black ABS, in the trash. Also, it happened to have the exact same curve as the cover did. I cut the center grill out of that. To clean up the edge, I sliced off the wiping edge of a wiper blade and fit it around the cut burred edge. Used 3 bond, 2 part epoxy for assembly (that stuff will permanetly glue anything).



At night the headlight leaks light behind the cover, you can see the intake pipe blinging.

 

Very Nice!

 

Thanks!

 

Must agree, very nice job. I always screw things up when I get creative so i just put in the factory fog lights. Yup, I know ... boring !!!!!!!!!!!! lol JB

 

Here is my rendition of the intake holes...

I used 3 one inch subwoofer port tubes bought from Ebay. 3 Varad white LED's that were just sitting around wanting to be used. Total time = 1.5 hrs? Not sure, I didn't do everything at the same time. I didn't notice any performance gains but I really like the look of it. I have 3 caps I can put on the tubes just in case of these damn Texas storms.

 

Both of those ideas are cool, thanks guys

 

Damn we got some creative ppl up in here keep it up and keep sharing.

 

Didn't notice any performance gains? Surely at least one whp!

Probably more like 1 1/2, what with the LEDs in there.

(But seriously - it's cool; I really like the LEDs.)

 

Street do you have any night pictures, I wanna see what it looks like. It looks nice day time though

 

I'll get that tonite (night shot).

 

Here's the night shots, but the camera really couldnt capture what it looks like in person, from a ways away you can clearly see the intake pipe, etc.,. , the camera was trapped in headlight glare..

 

Are you saying it looks bad from farther away? Like I personally like how it looks right there.

 

No, I like the way it looks from all angles, just the camera wouldn't pick it up from any other angle or distance than what you see.. The camera doesn't do it justice, was my point... thanks for the positive comments about it!

 

Yeah I really like it I'll try that sometime soon.

 

yeah, i think its pretty clean.. good luck with yours!

 

Here is my take on the same idea

 

Here it is with the grill blacked out, next is the headlights (havn't decided on what)..
But black and tcm is the goal..

 

nice ideas. i was thinking something similar, but i gotta make sure i can cap it off when it rains
