This is process one out out two…

Due to the fact we are maching a stainless steel surround for the opening and the I will adhere a fine chrome mesh inside it.
IF ALOT OF PEOPLE LIKE IT I WILL PRODUCE THE SURROUNDS AND WORK OUT A GOOD PRICE!


This is process one!

Vehicle Car Trunk Automotive exterior Rim

Use a door pull tool as shown its easy this way to take those clips out

Auto part

Then you should see the underside of the vent... use a 10mm and push it out to direction of the window.

Just what it looks like

Next i placed the vent over the back side of the heat shield thing ( you will see two round spots on the left and right side this is where the two bolt locations are for the vent so use it as a center point like i did). Then trace it out and cut it with a razor.

I wonder what font they used for the "Turbo?"
With the 2014's at least, we have a sound insulating layer stuck on to the bottom of the hoods that we'd have to cut through. i'm guessing this is new?

Just thought I give it a try...
Looks good, except the rough texture on the trim part...plastidip?
Yeah I plasti-dipped it. I kind of like the rough texture...I gave it a clear coat to see but I'm not happy with it. I think I'm gonna give it another coat of plastidip of flatten it. BTW I also plastidipped the inner part..didn't like the red from the inner hood.
