I used the gutter gaurd mesh stuff the first time, but it was so thing that you can't really see it from more then 10 feet away or so. I went to the home depot again and I looked and couldn't find anything, so I talked to someone who works there. I told him I was looking for a metal mesh like the gutter gaurd, but I wanted a thicker mesh. He had some, but I don't remember what department it was in. It's for putting on screen doors or something? and it's in plates of like1 foot by 2 or 3 foot. Just ask them, maybe they can help you find it. It is hard, it's not bendable like the gutter gaurd, but I worked it in from the under side of the car. I painted mine with the "chrome" paint too.

Yeah I'd make sure you paint it with something, even if it's clearcoat, I dunno if that stuff rusts but if it does that would look crappy if it did.
