Default Screen mesh for kit

As you can see from my avaitor.I need some screen mesh for the front of my kit.I see the screen at the part store and it seems kind of expensive.is there a cheaper way?Also my other question is how does the mesh go on is there a hook or clip or something?

im not sure what they have at the US, but we have home depot over here, or just any big home hardware store, go to the tile section and they will have BIG pieces of mesh for like $3

I am going to lowes in the morning.I think I am going to see if I can find something to glue to it to hold the mesh in place.I already have a piece in the middle do you all think it would look right if the mesh was different types or do I need to stay with the same kind of mesh it came with?It maybe harder to find though.l

Get some epoxy and put it on the inside of the body kit, on all 4 sides of the hole you want to cover with mesh. Stick 4 pieces of metal wire about 5 inches long into the epoxy when its still wet, and let it dry so the metal wire is sticking up. Make sure the pieces of wire are about in the middle of the holes. Get the mesh, cut it about 2 or 3 inches wider than the hole all the way around. Put it over the hole so the metal wires that are sticking up go through holes in the mesh. Bend the metal wire (away from the hole so you can't see it), and the mesh will be secured, and theres no way anyone can see how it's secured. Thats the best way i've done it. Thats how it was done on my body kit and it works perfect

I just used a radiator grille off of an old suzuki samuari and cut it to fit. It was already the right size and it was black rubber coated.

yes but when epoxying dont just slap the epoxy on it!!!!!!!

scratch it up realy good from the plastic bumper!!!!!!! other wise it wont stick properly and will just pop off over time!
