Hey randy,

I used a dremmel with cutoff wheel to cut out the portion and then used a sander to smooth off the edges..

I was thinking about it but wanted to Spray the STi logo white. Ill photoshop it and see how it looks like then proceed from there. Thanks Norris and Randy for the comments.

ok to tell you the truth its kind of crooked... the lines need to be sanded more till its straight and the curved part looks messy but hay ive never seen this style on these body style looks like the finish product will be nice.

Hey Ryan,

Yeah, I noticed the crooked lines and thought i cut crooked but it was just the pre-cut lines made with a Permanent marker. But definetly will touch up on the rest and find a lay over border to cover the outline portion to make it look like a professional made this..

thanks guys,
walter

two questions - can you post a pic of the back of the cover?
Also, what kind of fogs do you have?

Looks good so far!

as specified in the other thread, I would have used a tighter mesh and redo the curved area. Looks good!

How are you securing the mesh to the cover?

instead of using a pen to mark off where you want to cut off...try using masking tape =)...its "eraseable" and straight lines are easier to make by just tightening the tape before applying =)....just a suggestion =)
