Its been on my mind to change my fog ducts for a while now. I love having the mesh there but 1: Because it was originally gold mesh that i sprayed black, it kept getting chipped revealing the gold underneath. 2: I didn't really like how deep the dish was on the mesh. In hindsight, i would have liked to have it more forward.
I left it like this until i was speaking to
@Louis' as he wanted to do similar. He found some mesh but didn't need it all so we went halfs. He bought it, took what he needed and sent me the remainder for half the cost :smile: I also got some 2nd fog surrounds (As i ruined one with a mop i used a few months ago!) and some new 100mm bass ports off eBay and set about doing my ducts again.
I cut some fiberglass rings up at work, like i did before.
Cut the mesh to fit the rings
I then drilled and riveted the rings to the mesh and cut to shape. After that i gave them a couple of coats of satin black and lacquer.
I then rested the mesh rings in the ports on some sweet pots to get the right dish depth and then added some PU sealer and hot glue to bond them in the final position.
All done. I gave the mesh another coat of satin black as i didn't want the gloss look, but still wanted them protected. Gave the surrounds a rub of AF trim restorer
New Vs Old
Old ones
All fitted
I like them more than the old ones. If im honest i prefer the mesh gaps on the old ones but its so minor its not a issue, and the way these sit and the fact that these are fully black and not gold underneath makes me happy! I finished with a few pics :smile:
