It all takes time. I wouldn't rush it. It will turn out better if you take your time and do things right.

I wanna find a 2wd bezel and do the same thing. I don't need one of those lame-o 4wd switches

I've never messed with bondo and frankly, don't have the patience to learn.

Eh, living in the northern part of the states has it's benefits =]

I'd assume that since you're blocking those two vents, it'd just blow out harder from the others....maybe???
