that looks awsome and i have thought about getting one of those but i kinda like the way it looks with out anything there, but the thing i dont like is being able to see the metal back there, cuz i cut out all the foam back there
"note: dont melt the foam it doesnt make u feel very good after u breathe it in "

heh, I did the same thing. It's not in these pics, but you can see some of the metal on mine as well. The grille hides some of it and I plan on painting the rest black eventually.

Yeah, that's pretty sick man. Might have to do that to mine instead of trying to paint all that metal back there. As for painting that panel, I just taped off and used some Krylon Fusion, wet sanded it and added another couple coats. Just prep it like you would anything else.

Here is how mine looks for now. The body shop painted the foam stuff black so its not as noticeable. I want to do the mesh mod eventually though.
