It's a good tip! I've seen too many progress threads here that are having to do major work on this area. So if one person dose it and never has to rebuild this part of there car. Then yes I consider it a huge accomplishment!! That's why I bump it up so new members like YOU might see it!!

I take great pride in my son and brag about him as much as I can. Hopefully that wont be an Issue with you either!!

I'm glad you think it's a good tip. And was fine with your post until you got personal. With on 23 post I would think you would mind your manners and be just alittle more respectfull. I find that if I have nothing good to say about someone I keep my mouth shut.

Have a nice day!!

C'mon dude, you really don't think you were the first one ever to do this do you? I don't wanna be mean but I did the same thing to my Jeep many years ago.
Just cause I don't post much doesn't mean I'm a newbie. I just usually don't get so prevoked to say something.
I think it's nice you took the time to do a writeup for those that have never seen anything similar done, but the shameless self promotion for so long.......sorry, it made me finally add another post to my newbie status!

Great Idea and I plan to do the same with my project.

Another option would be a black metal zip tie. They are very thin and you can bend them to perfect 90 degrees and they may hide a little better.

As technology has progressed since this thread began, I would think you could use a 3m Super 77 adhesive to attach whatever material you wanted.

Do you really need the factory cowl vents if you are converting to aftermarket AC or Vintage Air? I live in humidity 10 months out of the year and have no need for fresh air vents. What is the harm in just blocking them off completely?

Saw this a while back but since I don't have many leaves blowing around near the car I never got around to doing it till this weekend when I saw wasps entering through the slots in the hood. Sprayed some bug killer into the area from the rear of the hood and when I opened it there were several looking up at me from the nest attached to the bottom of the plastic grill! After I got through spraying the critters I removed the grill, pealed off the 6" diameter nest and vacumed 12 dead ones out. I then used some black aluminum screen and 4" cable ties. This should put an end to that problem!

I just saw this...what a great idea. Thanx for keeping this alive.
After reading, i went out and checked all my vehicles. The 03 Alero, and the 04 Colorado both have screens and the 04 Mustang has an offset venting. I am going to do this as part of my therapy when im ready. We are full grown tree crazy where we live. The worst is the willow in our front yard.
Cheers
