Bumper/Grill mesh... Someone help me fix this eyesore

Does anyone know what would look really good in terms of mesh on my bumper? Its an eyesore seeing the radiator, yellow warning stickers and tow hitch when you walk to the front of the car.

I need to fill up these gaps w/ something nice.







Any help would be appreciated

Personally, I'd use the same mesh that's in your grill for all of it... Match it up and it should look good. And just de-badge that yellow sticker

^^Its really cheap and flimsy looking.

I'm open to all options.. it doesn't have to be black mesh. it can be aluminum colored... I was wondering how the front of a 350z bumper vent type thing would work ( horizontal lines).

a Photoshopped pic help would be great.

I would remove the sticker, paint the tow hitch flat black, and get some more mesh.

Use the same mesh from your grill and remove the yellow sticker. That would help. You could paint the Tow hook bracket as well. If you don't like any of those, you could just get a massive FMIC.

Good idea on the paint and remove the sticker... I'm really not a fan of what I have in the grill. Its REALLY cheap.

Ah didn't realize you didn't like that mesh. Personally I like the mesh that comes with the Ionic grills from CustomAutoMesh.com

pull the sticker off and paint the tow braket black... thats what i did - you can see them even with mesh.

+1 for Custom Automesh BTW

Edit: ooops, didnt read the posts after original until I posted... there you have it OP - 3 of the same suggestions...

can you just buy a roll of mesh from customautomesh.com instead of the precut ones for specific bumpers?
