How do you pop that trim off? I plan on putting a plug for a battery tender there.

I dig it. Might have to make this a winter project.
Where'd you get the mesh and epoxy from? Amazon?

I got the mesh from HERE mainly because I couldn't decide which one I wanted and they have a free sample pack with scrap pieces. The epoxy I got from Home Depot

Is there anything behind the new vent that would be an issue for carwashes, etc.?

Looks nice but seems like it would add even more air turbulence in that notoriously noisy, unsealed area.

Decided to spice up the factory fender vents. I'm not a huge fan of the Air Designs ones, so I decided to add some mesh to my stock ones. I'm leaving this for anyone who wants to do the same. The only costs were $10 for the epoxy and $30 for the mesh, and that gave plenty extra. The only tools required are a dremel with a cutting wheel and sanding attachment.

BEFORE:

Using a dremel to cut out the middle

Using JB Weld plastic epoxy to secure the mesh
