Question Grill Mesh

Hey i was woundering were you can get grill mesh at without paying a crazy amount like 30 buks for a small sheet. does anyone know were you can get it for cheap? I checked yard birds, home depot and lows and none of them have it and i cant order on ebay.

Re: Grill Mesh

I got the $30 APC mesh. It works and looks decent, but eventually I'll replace the whole bumper with a nice new one.

Re: Grill Mesh

if you want bigger openings you can go to your local metal yard and pick up some expanded metal, its more ridgid and is easyer to install, comes in all size diamond openings down to 1/4"
