Default Custom Grills and Seats

Hey Guys wanted to show off my frugal mods both add up to spending 30 dollers
I Found a metal mesh trash can at wal-mart and made the grills the fit in the opening on the sides of my f4i all you have to do it cut the mesh out and form it over the holes, a small hammer comes in handy i used 3M Dbl sided tape to hold it in place works great. the trash can was $9.50 and the tape was $6.00

Now to the seat covers i made them from marine grade seat pleather not leather but pleather the black and white was 12.00 total easy to fit to seat with spray glue and staples.

so let me know what you think about it.. graphics soon to come to sides.

Looks good. I've been looking at ordering various metal screen designs, maybe I'll have to start looking closer to home.

Seats look decent. Never been a fan of the mesh on the fairings, but looks cleanly done.
