anyone know where to find some metal mesh that i can use behind my 3bar grille? Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Lowes, Rona do not have any (Canada)
Id like to find a store that I can actually pick it up instead of ordering online

 

and can someone please explain how to attach the mesh to the grill..i havent seen the back on one done.
thanks

 

Search here for "gutter guard", you'll find everything you need.

 

^X2...used gutter guard on my old 2.4l from Home Depot

It bends pretty easily. I just pressed mine around the edges of the grille and only used one screw if I remember correctly

 

can u post pictures?
i found the original post on socalhhrs and from what i see they cut out little notches from the mesh and insert the tabs from the original grill through these cuts and so the black outliner thing holds the mesh in place? i dont get it lol

 

I cant....I have the SS now...the only picture I have is the one I posted

there is a black piece of trim that is attached to the grille when you remove it. I had the gutter mesh in between that and the grille, and the I had one screw just holding the gutter metal together. It wasn't a pretty piece of art on the inside

 

one i got has plastic mesh in behind and doesnt look too good, little bit wavy so i want to swap for a metal mesh. Correct me if im wrong but is there 2 pieces of mesh? Lower and upper? and then they connect to the tabs and screw areas but i dont get the middle area where that wire clamp thing is that goes down the middle of the grill.

 

I did mine in black metal, one piece, had to cut to fit the plastic tabs.

 

I used two pieces of gutter guard (awesome stuff!), but when I did my 3-bar, i 'finished out' the bowtie at the top and bottom, making the support bar useless.
My solution was to fiberglass some wood blocks along the center bar and just used small screws to hold the mesh at the center.
The top and bottom edges were bent over and held in place by the black trim that goes on the grill.

 

The gutter guard that I used on my 3 bar was from Ace Hardware.
I don't know if they exist up north.

I used the same mesh to do the opening below the front bumper.
