I'm sorry i dont know this but where can i buy wire mesh for body pieces. Since my car was rear ended i opted for a cwest front, buddy club 2 rear and buddy club 1 sides on my 99 coupe. well its all getting painted right now but i need to find a place that sells some black wire mesh and im guessing its not the stuff from the hardware stores? Thank you for your time

 

a company called grillcraft. not sure if they have a site, just google grill craft and you will get more than enough info

 

ive seen some at discount auto and autozone before

 

I have seen people use mesh from Wal-Mart for that sort of thing. If I remember correct it is called gutter protector and comes in a roll.

 

I hope you re-think this as that mesh looks very... unclean and cheap.

 

I've seen autozones and other stores with mesh in stock.

 

screw autozone... go to home depot/hardware store. you can get it dirt cheap in a variety of sizes/shapes of mesh.

*the only reason i know this is because i cut my bumper apart, and now regret it... so i am trying to make it look somewhat presentable.

 

home depot and spray it black

 

well it may look cheap to you but what would look better seeing all the stuff behind my bumper, examples like hood latches and metal work. before looking at it i looked at a lot of show cars that had my set up and they all had mesh to block off some parts

 

What your looking for is technicaly called "expanded metal" (google that to see what I mean).

The Home Depot stuff will work great if its in the rear. It is only like $3 for a giant sheet, and is really easy to work with. The big downer is that is really soft, and works horribly for the front (rocks really **** it up). Also, it doesn't weather well, and tends to look nasty after a while. Definently pick up a can of primer, and a can of paint, and bomb the hell out of it before you install it.

You can find much heavier guage stuff from companies on the internet, I just don't know what kind of quantities you must buy.

 

i opted for the black plastic mesh. lighter then the aluminum, does not bend when hit, and keeps it's color. i drilled a few holes in the bumper and safety wired it in.
