I got 2 sets of mesh from www.customautomesh.com, one for my current bumper and one for my Authentic TS bumper which is on it's way. The install for the OEM lower grilles was very easy and it looks SO much better than that chalky, dry OEM thick plastic that was originally there. It looks much sportier and it sure beats using that chicken wire from home depot or lowe's. It is very heavy duty plastic and is held on by copper wire pieces that are glued onto the inside of the bumper. Since I ordered the mounting hardware from them which is just precut pieces of thick copper wire, I just had to go out and buy the epoxy and some krazy glue. It turned out great and I am very satisfied. Fast shipping too.

Wow that looks good!
Since I haven't seen how the stock mesh is installed personally, how do you cut the stock mesh out?
That really looks clean and neat!
Thanks for your order btw! Great customer!

CustomAutoMesh has always come thru for me.
They are straight up guys with a good product.
I would guess you had to dremel out the factory plastic?
Looks great i was thinking on doing this myself.

they only have large weave left in stock at customautomesh.com it looks like you have a small weave, hows install
Actually I did use the larger 1/4" weave ones. It looks small in the pics. It's perfect. I think the 1/8" would have been too small.
I cut the stock part out with wire cutters. You cut the main center X part out first then go around the edge and snip out the rest so the mesh will sit more forward and flush against the bumper. Took be about 10-15 minutes to cut. Easy install.
I'm going to be selling my bumper but I just wanted to give the buyer an added bonus. =)
