so I riveted the brackets on and got everything bolted together...all the mesh is in (not running the intercooler mesh section)

I made my own upper center mesh section...I have about 15 cuts on my hands to prove it...bought the mesh on ebay it's pretty close in design to the oem pieces

Isn't this STICKY in the HOW-TO section yet? I haven't checked that section for awhile. If not, I think it should be. Thanks! I'm going to attempt this this spring.
