customautomesh

 

^^ theres no where local i pick up a roll of aluminum or metal? i went to home depot and there mesh there are too thin.

 

plastic mesh is the only way to go. painted metal meshes will chip in a matter of days.

 

where can i get that from?

 

www.customautomesh.com

Trust me, painted metal mesh will chip... I know from experience.

 

yea i know they'll chip, thats why i want to know where i can pick it up locally, im very impatient. and i prefer doing things for my car myself. comes out the way i want it you know.

edit: +www.customautomesh.com has the large weave, i want small so others wont see my IC..

 

roofing section in home depot.
:]

 

Thanks for the comment sean, but i've already checked home depot, their mesh there are thin and medal.

 

I did my own mesh. Got supplies from Home Depot and it was pretty easy.

I'm just hoping the chips on the metallic black painted mesh aren't going to be too bad

.

 

have you checked the metal gutter mesh? it should be in the gutter section. its only $2.

 

i ordered the customautomesh and preferred metal mesh over, it so gar i have had very few chips, and the chps that do exist are not visible unless by magnifying glass. the plastic mesh is hard to work with from my experience and even after straightening w/ heat it still looked wavy, hence went to supply shop for metal mesh

i found a hexagon honey comb type mesh, though it may seem very transparent up close, from a far its all black + i painted behind the radiator and what not black

 

^^ where'd you find the hexagon mesh at? and how did you paint everything behind it black? the only thing that is bothering me right now is that support bar behind the bumper with the hole for the stillen license plate holder hole.

 

is that what you've used for your ts front? that big opening?

they're in santa fe springs

go to their website and search for "expaned metal sheets"
or if you call mention it is on page 3628 in catalog #114
there're all types/sizes available

as far as the chipping issue,you can send it out to get black anodized. little costly but maybe worth in your case?
