Hey guys, I was thinking about adding some wire mesh behind my front grille to go for a different look. I did some searching here, but only came up with one thread on the subject. Anyway, here is one of the pics from that thread...



I just want to see what different types of mesh look like on our cars so I can find out which one I like the best. Maybe this thread can also help other people who have been searching on this subject, but couldn't find anything. So post up your wire mesh pics, and don't forget to tell where you got it from and how much it costed you! Thanks is advance, Paul Moore

 

hey thats my car...

but the mesh i used is called gutter guard i think. i got it from home depot for like 2 bux a sheet.

 

Heres a pic of mine. I got mine from a 4thgen board, $10

 

I also used the home depot gutter guard

 

Damn, I paid $30 for mine from Discount Auto. But I really liked it. It's in the r1cer...I mean "performance" aisle.




It looks better in different lighting.

 

This is my grille insert. I got it from a "shop" that sells "performance" parts for tuned import cars. Its made by ractive and i got it for $20.

 

 

See, now that's what I'm looking for!!! You said that you got that stuff from a 4th gen board, right? Do you happen to know which one, and do they still sell it and for how much? To everyone else that posted, thank you. BTW, are you able to paint that Home Depot Gutter Guard? I think the reason That I like the one posted by mike83z-z28 is because it is black, or at least looks darker than the other ones do. I have the back Z28 front grille with the red bowtie emblem, and I think that the silver gutter guard stuff will stick out(appearance wise). I like to keep things subtle. Besides, I plan on using it mostly as a primary defense for my radiator so it doesn't get beat up by rocks and stuff. Once again, thanks!

 

Wow you guys! I'm loving that! Whats the best way to apply the mesh and how? I want something really bright silver.

3m tape? Screws?

Oh and one last thing is it hard to clean the bugs off that all the time?

That is such a cool pic

 

im also curious as to how you guys get it in there and how you get it to stay..

 

I used screws, they're hardly noticeable where they are during the day

 

Here's a thread from about 3 years ago showing some different styles; link

 

Thanks Yeah I got it from a guy on cz28.com. Let me see if I can remember who it was and ask them what type it was.
