i did...but my iroc isnt stock..it has a custom front nose on it..i think that if you put mesh in any nose of any car (and its done correct) that it makes it look alot better..

i have black mesh on mine because i have a black car. and its cheaper. i got mine at a orchard supply store, its gutter mesh or something like that. i suppose chicken wire would work too if you dont want to spend to much
sorry no pics

i think that the mesh would cause an obstruction in the air flow to the induction system as well as cooling will be hindered. just a thought. are you guys that are running this stuff having any problems with cooling?

I have mesh in my fender vents......

I used actual gutter guard available at any local hardware store.....then had it painted body color, as to try and hide it a little....

It's has bigger holes, if you are worried about air flow and cooling issues.....

that mesh isnt goin to stop much air flow at all much better flow than my rs grill im sure. Plus it will keep debris from gettin up to the radiator.

the car doesnt get the cooling air from the grill... it sucks it from undernieth the nose of the car. that is why the air dam is so important.

I used some metal mesh I got at home depot I think it was.. it's not gutter gaurd, it's ALOT thicker metal then that.. you can't even bend it with out ALOT of effort, I cut it out with a dremel. I forget exactly what it was, but ask a guy that works there if they have any other kind of metal mesh besides gutter gaurd.. I asked him and he helped me out, it was in a different part of the store, you'd miss it easily.
