cutting the piece i ended up scratching off some of the anodizing and i've found that the best fix is just a normal black sharpie

Looks good. I like the thin, smaller mesh like yours better than the larger style.

staticorex · 06-03-2009, 12:51 PM

I like. Something I haven't seen before too.

We used to call the "Portuguese Anodising" at the boatyard. Not to denigrate the Portuguese, but to compliment them on a good fix.

its simple but quite nice

cali yaris · 06-12-2009, 07:51 PM

GOOD JOB!

Looks fine, but hard to clean I imagine.

Also, how do you direct airflow up and down, and close the vent(s) too? That functionality is totally eliminated. Looks over practicality, for sure. Sorry to appear negative; its just a constructive comment.

Carpe_Diem · 06-18-2009, 02:11 AM
