Mesh Grill Installation

[Sk8nroll]

Hey I am going to put a mesh grill in my civic but I dont know exactly what kind of aluminum mesh will look best. Has anyone put in a mesh kit??

you can go to home depot and get extended metal for like 5 bucks, pretty much the same thing as the bodykit mesh.

I don't know if extended metal is the same as the stuff you put on top of guttering, but that's the stuff we always used! It turned out really good and it's like $6 for a 4'x8' sheet.

Where did you get it?? I have tried Home Depot and Lowes, they both didn't have any aluminum, just steel.

home depot is your friend

The material is called "Expanded" metal. Check with a local metal supplier. I work at Lowe's and theirs and Home Depot's selection sucks ass. IMO, what you should look for are either Stainless steel or Aluminum. Any good metal supplier should have a decent selection of both on hand to pick a style out. Some may not sell to the public though. Make some calls first.

DIY Mesh Grill

Home Depot...$4.00 mesh about $8.00 worth of epoxy and some plastic zip ties.

As you can see, It took a few different methods for me to reach the zip ties...but this is how I will redo the entire thing this winter. Make sure you cut the mesh about an inch more than the "entire" bumper opening. Take your time and let the epoxy set on the zip ties before you try attaching the grill. Good luck.

Chill out home cheese...since when wasn't anybody allowed personal prefference. Besides, I painted the mesh white to go with my wheel color.
