I was pleasantly surprised to see the finished product! It wasn't you're average hack job! :banana: I think it looks really good.
With that being said after looking at your holes I think it would look good to move them both out a little bit to line up with the original bumper opening. It would look more consistent this way. Then you would have the option of making a third hole in the middle or leaving it alone and having a place to mount your front license plate (if desired or state required). I've also wondered what it would look like if someone cut out the bumper on both sides of the talon logo. This might be helpful for underhood temps or getting air to the radiator (that is now blocked by a new shiny intercooler :cool: ). This was just nit picking . . . . or I guess a better word for it would be constructive criticism. I believe it turned out beautifully and give you the utmost respect for doing something tasteful and different. Excellent job!

Nice cuts man! Looks like you took your time to make it look clean. You thinkin about doing anything else, body wise, to your car?

yup going to make a fuel cell and raise it up in the hatch and do a rear air diffuser that is actually functional....

i love hood scoops and louvers and plane old just cut off wheels to the body or the plasma.

I may turn it in to a wide body.

yes 92 abs talon tsi

but removed abs and other crap to go fast.

thinking of over the winter tubular control arms with better geometry and tunable antisquat for the track.

Looks pretty good man. I put some door edging trim around mine as well as the mesh. I also cut out the little spots on the sides of the eagle emblem.

Very smooth work, reminds me of like a Pontiac grill in a way. I do have one question, what it you use to fill in the countersunk emblem spot? From what I've seen on local cars, regular body filler don't like sticking to plasic for long.

mavisky,
can we get a better shot of the trimming around the eagle logo? maybe a straight on shot looking through them. i'm currious on whats getting cooled down behind those. didn't know if doing what you did would be a good way to tastefully get a lil more cool air to the radiator or if it went straight into the engine bay. either one wouldn't hurt. just never seen it done before. thanks.

Those vents lead straight back to the angled plate for the hood latch. It then forces the air downward in front of the radiator.
