Looks good. Did you get it online and was it difficult to install?

no I ordered it at my honda dealer. it was pretty easy to install. The directions it comes with are ok. You have to drill holes in the front fenders. At least there are punch marks already on the fenders for the bottom mounts. You have to drill them out and temporary install basket so you can mark where to drill the top holes.

I picked up some hinged screw covers from lowes. I think they look better than just the plain screw head  |

if you got some touchup paint on the covers you wouldnt even know there was anything there

I picked up some hinged screw covers from lowes. I think they look better than just the plain screw head That was an excellent idea. It really makes it look very good. jmkjr72's suggestion is also excellent. Now that I see how you put yours in, I am considering getting the basket.  |

Very nice Met! I really like the basket and it goes good with the new red mets. I also like the case of Rolling Rock in the background...

Very sharp. I like the contrast of the black with the red. I also see that you did some minor cutting to accommodate the bolt. What kind of pinstripe did you use and where did you get them? Are they the kind you get at auto parts store? Very nice!

Thanx, yeah I had to cut around that area, I redid it after I saw the pic, straightened it out. I got them from Pep Boys, $6.00 for a roll. The pics really dont show the color well, they are metallic blue.

Those are great pinstripes and they are not difficult to install... at least not on cars. I like the metallic blue better than the black personally, too bad the pics don't show the color very well. But now that you mention it, you can tell on the radiator cover, I thought it was light reflecting. I want to try something like that too. You just gave me an excellent idea, Thanks!
