please help..authentic kuruma z grille mesh problem``

just got my authentic kuruma z bumper yesterday... love the quality and look..
but it doesnt come with grille mesh...
to buy an authentic grill mesh is like 80 dollars...
i dont think its worth it so im looking for substitution...
i tried gutter guard from home depot and lowes, i like the pattern but problem is the each sheet is too small to fit my bumper,
i mean the mouth of the bumper is almost 7 inch tall and the gutter guard is only 6 inch tall..
i dont want customecargrill.com or whatever cause i heard that the quality of their grill is just like homedepot's but charge u 10 time of the money for it.
i tried autozone, advance auto parts, napa, pep boy's.. none of them carrys that too...
so, is there any other place i can get grill mesh? from a store will be better cause i want to see it in person..

don't get the gutter guard stuff because some of those rusts, unless you spray some anti rust stuff on them

Just buy the mesh from CZP or whoever sent you the bumper. What's another $80 after the price of bumper and paint? It will be worth it.

^^ I'm foreign, what can you expect.

And he can say that he's heard the quality is bad all he wants, but its not. Seen their products first hand and its good.

Honestly, should have just shelled out the extra cash and just bought the mesh that comes with the authentic bumper. Best that I've seen... doesn't bend or flex and it is held in with some decent screws, rather then just using some glue to hold it in place.

I don't see how you could shell out the cash for an authentic Kuruma front CZP but then wanna go cheap on the mesh, especially when it is $80. But it doesn't matter... its not my money.

Good luck on your search with an alternative.

i just though that 80 buck for lil piece of metal mesh is too much, especially when you can get it done for under 10$ and just turn out as nice.like this.

i dont know if you are sarcastic me or not, but y spend extra when you can save it?
70 buck may not sounds a lot but it can be one week of grocery for me..so if i can save it i will definitely try to.
plus do it you self is big part of why modify car is fun..as long as it will turns out nice.

Shoot a PM to Arch industries. They sell a mesh for their replica KZ for alot cheaper than $80. It's probably not as nice as the authentic, but it worked well enough for me.
