Customized Fender Vents

[Bradley]

I just finished Version 2.0 of my customized fender vents. I used my original Lariat trims for the new, updated ones. Version 1.0 was kind of a "proof of concept" project. The new versions have a much larger cut-out, and I'll probably leave these in the original textured black finish as opposed to color-matching them. The originals will be posted for sale in a few days if anyone is interested, along with a set of the Air Design ones.

Version 2.0

Very nice. Love the "orange", my Lariat has the orange trim points inside.

What's a good source for the black mesh? I'm looking at doing this to mine. I'm also curious what the back looks like for affixing the mesh, everyone always leaves that part out. Curious if you still have your Air Deigns ones still available though, I don't love them for the cost but if its a good deal I'll just go that route.

I found the mesh on Amazon, search "aluminum hex mesh"
Let me know on the ADs, still in my basement, ready to ship.

On the white ones, the "Lariat" was painted on because the vents that I bought for the experiment were for a BAP Lariat. The orange "Lariat" on V2.0 is factory; my Lariat has the Tremor package.
Just to be clear--I'm not making these to sell. The white V1.0 will be in the Marketplace in a few days.

What did you use to paint this? Did you have to rough it up to make adhere?

I have a black lariat and I'm looking to add a little color to mine. Wanna make it bright right. I'm not sure but I think mine is fake chrome or maybe just plain black.

Honestly I would prefer side vents that said Maverick or Ford or 2.0T etc instead of the trim level. Anyone making these?

IIRC, I used a paint pen that I got from automotivetouchup.com for the "Lariat" on the white ones. V2.0 were "Tremor Orange" from the factory.
