some people bend the mesh into the bumber and use liquid nails to glue it down

I have been wondering who makes the best mesh. I know you can use the hardware store stuff but I heard it's crap. My car is going in the shop this week for a few days and while it's in there I want to do this mod so any help would be great!

i'd be weary of that stuff on ebay, more than half the time its gutter mesh

uhm apc makes some grille mesh, a few otehr dealers do to but IMO the apc one is the easiest to find.

if you want to di it the way the pro's do it, you can never go wrong with rivets

rain gutter mesh from HOME DEPOT is all it takes....$1.24 for each sheet
you need 2-3 sheets
why pay $15 for some cheap mesh just because it has a name on it APC, EBAY, etc. 8)

Yeah I agree with home depot. I got mine for 5 bucks a big roll. Mine looks tight as hell.........I used epoxy to hold them down....

Just clear coat the home depot gutter mesh so it doesnt change color on you in the future.

they should have some in the hardware section of the grocery store. but if you go to the hardware store, either ask for it but it should be with all the other adhesives, like wood filler and jb weld and all that good stuff.
