Grill Mesh
 
I need to find some quality mesh to fill the gaps in my new front bumper. I know some of you Amuse guys have mesh installed on some parts of the kit. Can anybody chime in on where to find something nice? I want to go with black and maybe something diamond or honeycomb shaped.

It came painted and is good quality IMO

Thanks guys, I have an Ace right by my home so Ill check there before ordering online.

I ran the cheap mesh for awhile but I got tired of repainting it.

The one I ordered uses a plastic mesh that holds paint better than the cheapo versions.

Can I use a double sided tape to install this?

Really depends on where and how its applied, but Id consider VHB tape. If not, epoxy.

I need it for the wide open mouth of the Stillen front bumper, if you take a look at Mikes album you can see it needs a subtle mesh in there. Unless of course you have an intercooler :tup:

Perfect Ten Auto, as per the recommendation of Vinny Ten. They are near my home and quoted me a good price. I had to drop the car off before 7am Monday to get to work and there was already somebody working in the shop. Owner called me at around 11am and they had already test fitted the bumper and attached the small side fender pieces. So far so good.

I know it's OT, but how much did they quote you for the installs? I really have no idea what's reasonable. I wonder how much different performing a color-match is on Black, as opposed to the Blue?

Sorry for going OT OP.:tiphat:

Or barbed wire! Everything that falls into the mouth of my Z will be shredded to pieces! And we thought the Z came with fangs stock.
