^^^ LOL!

I am not a fan either, especially with the F logo there. It looks too "home-made" and a little tachy for an F. I think this is one of those that looks best on an Obsidian only and without the F logo.

 

Take a look at this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-5-F...#ht_2894wt_877

Post #41 - "You're looking for ALUMINUM 3003 H14 EXPANDED"

You post in that thread is #46....

 

Correct I did. However, there are so many size options and not one picture on that site to show you what it looks like/ how big the holes are

 

Check out http://www.customcargrills.com/

They are a vendor on another forum that I frequent and they sell the good stuff. They have several sizes with pictures. Get the sample pack for $5 and you get the $5 back when you order. They have powder coated too.

Tell 'em tenspeed from GAOC sent you.

 

Now this is what I'm talking about. It shows the percent of openings, etc... I'll for sure be buying from them. Thank you sir.

 

Their products are a lot better than gutter guard. There's some on ebay made of copper. Look around locally too, there's lots of commercial vendors for metal products.

****** and improve... they have some interesting punched metal products that can be substituted. I've doubled up on some of the ordinary mesh before to reduce the ability to see through. You could paint the inner mesh your body color for visual interest.

It's a custom project, go play with it. Try something new and if you don't like it, change it. If you do like it, post pictures.

Good luck

 

Yeah, this thread is a little insightful. No real how to with pics but MrSlay explained it pretty well.

This will work well for a custom grille like that:

You'll need the painted surround from Sewell and the labor to custom fabricate this will be around $200-300. The result will be just like the first pictures posted.

 

Its so hard to judge these mesh sheets from online photos and descriptions!

 

^^ Yes, it is. With the eBay mesh material above, you need to carefully select which side will be front, back, top and bottom. Just place the material at an angle like it would be installed, then step back a few feet and look at it. Keep in mind that what looks good from 2 ft may not look good from 20 ft and vice versa. Just pick the look that you like.
