if you guys are really concerned i'll custom make you guys a leather bra for your bumper so you can sport that sexy mess all up on your new bumper..it covers all of it so you'll be protected even if a big rock hits it

You'll need to reuse yours, any body shop should be able to rivet the bracket to the new bumper.

Here's the 03-04 brackets http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...=3&catalogid=2
Here's the 05-06 brackets

I suppose I could order up a bunch of them and include them as an option if needed. Up to you guys guys, I'm here to help.

nice! i riveted the brackets in the oem bumper i have on now and it was really easy to do...my oem is now sold (and its still on lol) so ill probably just get new brackets to make it easier for the buyer. i'd be willing to pay a lil extra for them for sure thanks rook

the thread from the link said he painted the mesh gloss black... it looks like its black originally (but maybe flat black?).... I'm wondering about the paint part - according to the reports being posted none of the painted ones have held up... Can someone verify that the mesh in the thread is black? - it looked like the roll in the pic was flat black or dark grey...

This will be good material for the grille that rookie doesn’t want to make

Haha, I wouldn't doubt it. Another good thing is about to happen so it is likely

I'll go to home depot later and buy that and then I'll post comparison pictures with my "Custom Auto Mesh". Which wasn't really all that customized. I'll post pics of that as well

I went to home depot and couldn't find it. I went to dixieline and found it. I have to say that the Custom Auto Mesh is definitely higher quality. It is stiffer and on appearance is a little bit thicker. I took some pictures with my iPhone, but being that I'm at work I can't extract them out here. I didn't buy it, since the quality just isn't their. The Custom auto mesh wider than the Gutter Guard. The GG is 6" wide by 25' Long. I'm not sure how that would mesh with our big whole in our bumpers.

I've had a few people check out the home depot stuff. Opinions have varied but nothing great. Less tight weave, does not feel as good as the custom auto mesh stuff.

Will be starting a list for both bumpers today. The custom auto mesh will be an add on option if the buy doesn't want it the cost would be discounted but the costs is a discounted cost from the customautomesh pricing so you make out on the bulk order we make.

Here are a couple of pics of them side by side. Taken in the shop with an iPhone. So, not the best of quality.
