mesh grill material and mounting? [Merged 2-7]

[X|Crescens]

I'm sure you could go to any home handy store to find some. Just ask them and if they don't carry some maybe they would know a place that does.

Actually, referring to the comment that home depot's mesh isn't that big, I work at the depot and we sell concrete lath which would work just as well in 4 ft by 8 ft sheets

 

[Airpoppoff]

i need something for when my front mount is not in

 

[greathuskie]

why are you getting rid of the FMIC and getting a SMIC?

 

[Airpoppoff]

i have the smic on right now for winter, i just wish i had something to put there, my bumper looks empt

 

[KougarZ28]

Does anyone know any companies that sell this ONLINE.. i searched ebay and cant find anything bigger than 6 inches for the width.. any ideas?

 

[rubbersidedown]

why look online? just go to a place like home depot like a few other people have said. And i'm curious, why would you put in mesh for when your fmic is out? Wouldn't you want it there for when your fmic is in so bugs and #### don't fly into it and damage it?

 

[greathuskie]

he wants it because he misses having something in his front bumper or something like that....

i might get one, they look cool

 

[KougarZ28]

is that stuff at home depot called concrete latch or concrete lath

 

[rubbersidedown]

i know. but i'm saying why not use it while the fmic is in too?

 

[DBek23]

it's called concrete lath. some people call it wire support also. it should be wherever they keep their concrete, it's 4x8 sheets of mesh, i've actually had people come in and buy it for that purpose. It takes a little bit of rigging since it doesn't come with clips or anything like that, but it works. The only thing is that the diamonds may be a little bigger than in most mesh made specifically for grills.

that just takes away the mean and scaryness of a fmic, its not gonna block any air but i think fmics look the best open like that, and there is no room for anything like that, my fm sits right against the bumper....

anybody know of a good website to buy a grille kit for my 2g eclipse (gst). theres a lot of people on ebay sellin' grille kits but i don't trust ebays ass at all. holla back!

 

[madcheba]

grillcraft makes a grill specifically for the 2g eclipse. its great lookin, strong, and has a nice metal border unlike some cheap chicken mesh ebay sells. they sell them in silver, white, and black. heres the link
where i got mine.

I want a good mesh grill that will allow a good bit of air to flow through. Grillcraft seems to be of the best quality, but theres no way in hell im paying 185+ dollars for it. anyone selling one or have a site that has it for around 40?

 

[98_silvergs]

User lowridin2G was selling one at some point, check with him

 

[JWoodley]

yea. brian and i are pretty good friends, hes already sold it. thanks tho.

 

[InnerCircleVP]

If your not looking for custom fit and your gonna cut it and install it yourself check your local hardware store. You'd be surprised what you could get. At local auto shops they sell the small sheet of mesh grille for about $30 but at a hardware store you can get a 3 yard roll by 1 yard for like $4 at the exact same quality. A friend and I bought 1 roll and have done the front of about 8 cars. Hell of a deal

 

[slowlaserRS]

yea like he said yoiu can get some form the hardware store an it going to look just as good as the 100 some stuff an flow as good to. Here a close up pic of what the stuff form the hardware store looks

[JWoodley]

thanks guys. anyone have any templates they used to cut the mesh for a 98. that'd make my life alot easier. thanks.

 

[captconnels]

yeah its $4 for a sheet about 3'x5', it's easy to cut, take your bumper off. cut a peice thats approximately the size you need, then zip tie it on and trim it up. i did the same thing to my friends s-10 last night. good luck

zip ties will hold it on the bumper? even at like speeds of 100 +?

 

[slowlaserRS]

dont see why not it held good for me so far.

 

[FourG63 97GST]

I uses liquid nail to hold my grill in, got it at home depot also.
didn't want to drill any holes to use zip ties.
