Help with Bumper /Grill Mesh

Hello my Brothers and Sisters-

I need to find a place to custom fabricate wire mesh inserts for my new bumper /grill. Anybody know of a place that does this ? Somebody said check out a sheet metal shop, but that doesn't sound right. Do body shops do this ? Prefer East Bay but mainly just want it done right . Thanks for any info.

PN

Don't go with the metal ones, they rust. I had some on a previous car and they only looked good for a few months and then had to be changed. Look for some like the customautomesh.com ones or similar.

You might want to ask Klumzyee. I'm getting his grill/mesh combo set up.

Maybe he can throw in a grill for you in my shipment.
They're being sent to Mike's shop and you could pick it up from there.

I'm getting that one too

As far as the mesh, he is using customautomesh so you might as well go to the source directly.

I used factory front Emblem which is pressure fit into the mesh spaces, just pull it off old grill, center it, and push real hard into new one.

Remounted trunk emblem (after black chrome painting) with indoor/outdoor carpet backing tape. Heavy duty 3M double sided tape is recommended on the forum, but I couldn't find it.

lol! I should have said "Hey Kris"! I saw your pic on the link and was curious.
Now I'll have to look at both. (Thanks Paul)!

I don't think I'm going to have it done by the drive.
I have to make the decision on the sways and springs.
I going to do one big install so as not to take time from Mike's shop/customers.
