Wire mesh on bottom how???

Jan 29th, 2003, 09:23 PM

First, where can I buy the wire mesh they sell on Ebay? Has anyone seen it at Home depot??

I have a SE-R like the one below in the link

how do I put the mesh in the opening in the bottom of the ground effects? The space that is between the fog lights. Whats the best way to mount it?

email me at jerm@kingwoodcable.com

it would be a pain in the ass on the stock bumper, or at least to make it noticeable... if youve got an aftermarket bumper, i usually see the grill just cut into a large rectangle, slightly larger than the opening, slapped onto the backside of the opening, then they put some sticky glue like stuff on it, to hold it there. ask pep boys or somethin

Do you want this look?

If so, you might want to PM Overlooked. Thats his car and he can probably tell you how to do it.

You can buy rain gutter mesh. They seel it at most hardware stores. Its cheap too. About four bucks for a roll. With a whole roll I have done 2 1/2 cars.

How did you attach the rain gutter mesh to the bottom part of the fender?.. what material did you use?..

The pic's not that clear but that's a wire mesh that i put in my front bumpers. I took the bumpers off and with the help of some small screws and washers to hold the wire mesh, i was able to mount it.

That looks pretty good. I think it will look better without the bars in the middle.

I like your grille. Is that just the 95-97 style grill with the bars taken off.

Thanks for the comment! I just wanted my grille to look different that's why I tried doing that one.

The mesh I used was bought from a local tuner shop. It is really nice, but really expensive.
I have never seen any other mesh like it.

The body shop used some nasty black sticky stuff to keep it in place.

I drilled little tiny holes on the edge of the inside of the bumper and used zip ties. Works Great and if I ever take it off noone will notice.

Use gutter gaurd, and paint it some other color. I literally went and took some off my gutters and cleaned it and painted it. I have been asked twice where did I buy it...

the looks I get when I say off my gutters;

heh

The 98 bumper looks fuckin cool with it behind the grill AND on the bottom

Hey 1cln the mesh you have is expanded metal. Either being steel or aluminum. You can get it and any pipe and steel place. Looks sweet still...

(I drilled little tiny holes on the edge of the inside of the bumper and used zip ties. Works Great and if I ever take it off noone will notice.)
This is the same thing I did. I even painted mine black, so with my black car you can barelly see it. Unless your face to face with my bumper.

i did my grille last december and it was definitely a pain to make it.

I know you can buy it from Home Depot, but I got mine from Lowes Hardware store. Just about any hardware store should carry it.

I like that grille too. I might f*k with my old one now that I have a Dremel.
