The front bumper I customized over one winter after removing it from the car. I cut the slats out from the center and then actually reused them and made a molding that the mesh could be epoxied to. Everything was filled and smoothed before painting it with the mesh alread in place. I replaced the mesh in my wings west grill with the same type, it was off the shelf at the local speed shop, not the stuff from home depot (not stainless). If your bumper isn't perfect and it's just a simple cosmetic thing I would just get some mesh of some kind and do the same without making the molding perfect like I did. Paint it black or body color however.
The wheels are Axis Spyder's in 18's. The trunk was shaved and filled, so there are no spoiler holes, or mercury emblem holes, I didn't want to have to have the bigger hole of the wiper arm welded closed, so I just left it for the time being. I have an S upper that I'll be putting on for the spring as seen here.
I'm also going to be making a custom S inspired lower using two 99 style spoilers to make a flush mount for the trunk part only, not on the lights. Will be more subtle than the huge S lower. I'm going to call it the R lower.
So here's where I'm at with the red accents. I don't know if I like them or not either but, a couple things to consider, first, they are done really well, with a nice satin red that matches perfect the blood red color of the XR seats and badges, so it doesn't glow in person like it does in the pics. the fender stripes have a gunmetal border around them that matches the wheel color. I took the car to one show with it in this setup in 2011 before having it sit idle till now, and I couldn't believe the difference it made in people just coming up and actually taking a look. I don't necessarily think that it's going to stay long term, but I'm going to take it to a few this spring and see the reaction it gets. i don't mind if people like it or don't like it, it's good to go have conversations at these places, and sometimes you need to do something a little bold just to get that attention, whether it's good or bad. here are a couple more angles to show the fenders better.
and for what it's worth, the vehicle where the stripes truly belong, next year I'm redoing the black plastidip to all blue, don't see too many rams on blue 24's running around. Again, it's a good conversation starter.
