I'm sure it doesn't look too bad from far. Up close I can tell see the glue and that its mosquito netting haha. Can you stretch the netting anymore? It looks loose.

Oh yeah did it warp? and i just noticed the emblem was off from the post above too.

you know what, sure it doesnt look as professional as it could but...

YOU made it, there is nothing more satisfying as fabricating your own mods. Spend another hour cleaning it up and making it as perfect as you can, then you will have a truly 'priceless' mod that noone else can 'buy'

*NOTE*
all the ppl who voted 'no', have any of you ever tried to fab your own mods before? until you have dont be so quick to judge

youre right, it was a DIY and it was better than what I would do, but he asked people to judge, so we judged.

The question was would we install it. Nobody was trying to bash him or anything, he just asked for an opinion.

I would use glossy paint for the frame and mesh. And center the emblem better.
