I agree with blacksc300, it will look good painted black.

On a sidenote, my kit is coming in soon and I will be needing a mesh grill. Where do I purchase the mesh from? Homedepot? Thanks

I am confused. Why are you looking to replace the metal face of the grill/mesh?

I don' t think either looks like a match like you said, but the one on the right (assume thats the one you mean) is closest and should look pretty good painted. The one on the left is too chicken-wire IMO.

Here's a fairly close up of l-tuned grill mesh to compare.




really close up here (won't link, too big)

I don't like the RMM chicken wire style either, it looks cheap. I think RMM grills would look much better with L-tune style mesh.

I was talking about the right one ...but is actualy the same grill its just that the right one is pressed or something like that ...this is the closest that I could find to the ltuned grill ..anyone else have better luck ?
