How
to open the front air vents on your .:R
By: Steffenme1 |

Ah,
I made mention of this wackyness in my lip post, and
a few of you have already heard the tale. But
for the rest of you, here goes.
So, on my .:R the left air vent comes filled in from the factory. Observe.
(sorry for the crappy photos, all of these were taken with my camera phone while
I was at work) |
|
|
So,
the idea was to cut out this vent to match the other
two which are open. Armed with an exacto knife
and way too much time on my hands, I began the work.
Here you can see my progress after one hour. I'm really moving along! |
|
|
And
now after two hours. Jeez, I'm really getting
good at this. |
|
|
And
finally, after two hours, 53 minutes victory was mine! Or
so I thought. DA DA DA DUM!!!!  |
|
But,
alas, I was wrong 
You can see the problem in this photo. You see,
I was trying to match this grille with the other two, but the
right grille has a solid half/filled thing going on around
the edge. And a wacky lone ranger spot in the middle. 
|
|
|
So
to work I went. This one only took me just
under an hour. I'm like a professional by
now!  |
|
|
But
that's not all folks! There's more!  Of
course, the center vent has the same damn half fill thing
going down on it as well. Obviously this is
not going to get by Obsessive Compulsive Man!!! |
|
|
Good
thing I've got a lot of free time at work! |
|
|
And,
of course, you have to REMOVE THE ENTIRE FRONT FASCIA
to reinstall the center section.
But in the end, the villagers rejoiced, their town
had been saved, the mayors daughters honor restored,
and the front of my car was fashionably uniform. All
was right with the world, and Obsessive Compulsive Man could drift off to a restless
sleep. Until next time....
