there is one that i really like... it has punched holes all through it... looks like little "stop sign" shaped holes.. and you put the inserts in the side vents too... it looks fantastic.. but i wonder how much cooling air it blocks off....

3 of 7...you been spying on me? cause like, last week at work i was thinkin of doing the EXACT same thing on my white OBS.... 
man, i'm REALLY gonna have to do it now it looks so good. i don't have a paint genious buddy, so i was just gonna use rattle cans with primer, but wow.... i did also plan on getting some small diamter expanded metal or something of the sort and painting it black to mount behind the grill. thought that might look pretty slick as well. EXCELLENT job! 
wow.....awesome

EXCELLENT job! wow.....awesomeThe toughest part is figuring out how to get the headlight bezles off....what a pain, you need to remove both batteries and there are 2 bolts that go into the back of the signal lights.... I used a 1/4" ratchet with a 2" extension and an 11mm socket
