Brian, you have one of the cleanest and overall sharpest 3rd gen I have ever seen, every thing you have on there from the RoJa wheels to the kit, to the grill is so tight, and I can only say about a handful of 3rd gen here. In my opinion your max should have been in the Custommaxima Super Street ad. Keep up the good work bro.

Love the clean look! I also love the engine bay, it looks very good, nice to see another VE looking good! I just need to work on my exterior a tad with adding a custom body kit which is still in the works and get my possible sponsorship then I can roll alongside your car!

Not sure yet. I'd love to, but I really shouldn't. Have other stuff that should get done. Is the rest stop on the NJ TP north of where the PA TP meets up with the NJ TP? I may just meet y'all there if I go.

Re: Updated CarDomain page:Nopi & mesh grill

It looks good! How'd you go about fastening it? I use JB Weld...good stuff. It's not as easy as it looks right!? Well, to make it look clean I should say. Anyone can slap mesh on it.

You know when you cut out the bars...and then you've got just the frame? On the top bar on the frame, there's those 4 holes/cut-outs on the underside. You know what I mean right? You cant really see it unless you're level or under it. Anyways...

Well that'd always bugged me so just last week I finished taking care of that. I used plastic from the bars that had been cut-out and cut them to fit those holes/cut-outs. A week later and lots of hours fillimg/sanding and that's all filled in. You cant hardly tell the grille isnt stock it's so clean. I'm gonna take pics of it later today along with the CF hood and post em up.

I didn't take it quite that far. I used Devcon plastic welder that I got where I work. I left the gaps in top alone. It took a lot of sanding. I just test fitted the mesh numerous times and tweaked the shape until I was satisfied to break out the epoxy. I glued it one small segment at a time so I could hold it tight and get a nice snug fit all the way around. Jon610 wants me to do his after he saw mine at Nopi, but I'm in no hurry to do this again! I was a nervous wreck until I was done.
