Since everyone has been going ga-ga over front mesh grilles. I finally got a chance to make the one I wanted. I'll get better pictures due to bad lighting plus I'm contemplating on spraypainting it to a dark metallic color.

 

Where'd you get the mesh?

I have 2 other cars I'd like to do & don't feel like paying $300 for $10 worth of metal.

 

www.mcmaster.com

The hardest part is trying to figure out what to order.

 

Nice clear headlights, where did u get it?

 

do it yourself

 

can you get it in black?

 

looks good

 

That's funny, my sister works there...in Chicago.

She probably gets a mad discount too...

 

is it aluminum ? what the thinkness ?

thanks

 

so which part do I order, can you tell me?

 

did mine last night, turned out great. I mounted it once like yours, then took it off and attached the A. I think it looks better with the A on, but without the wing type things on the sides.

 

what did you order mattpegan?

 

I just got some gutter guard type stuff from home depot for 15 bucks. Personally I like it better than a lot of the stuff people are ordering...looks nice without drawing too much attention. I'll try to put a pic up soon...if I can figure out how.

 

how did you mount up the grill after you put the mesh on? Did you use the black piece behind the grill?

 

that grill looks hot.. the best one ive seen here

 

Sorry guys, I haven't checked this forum for awhile.

Here is the info on what I ordered through McMaster Carr. It is a rather large sheet. I'd recommend getting larger diameter holes because these are a bit on the small side.

9232T131 - Aluminum Perforated Sheet 36" X 40", .1875" Hole Dia, 51% Open Area, .032" Thk $27.61

As for mounting it, I used the black piece that use to hold the Acura "A" to support the mesh.

 

good lookin grill! keep up the good work

 

paint it dark to match the headlights

 

looking great!

 

Bringing up the dead....

 

lol thats the drawback to telling newbs to search huh?

 

Didn't see this the first time around.

Looks real nice.

 

back from the dead...

Looks nice, any mesh available in black that anyone knows of?

 

that's sweet, i'm going to do something like that, but i'm going to powdercoat mine black. Looks great man

 

Black like this?

 

For those that wanna know, I got my upper and lower grill from ST2000 in this thread.

I think I heard that he moveed to another coutry though.

 

you should of put black mesh on your white CL it would look sick with those blacked headlights

 

i got the same grill from mc master, painted it black though

i love it

 

heres mine

 

thats pretty darrin i thought you made yours? or did you buy it?

 

so wait, is the "wing" still behind the mesh along w/ that black plastic crap? or is that completely taken out? Because I've seen some guys just put the mesh over the wing or whatever and in certain angles you can see through and see the wing, and I don't think it looks too good.

 

I think it looks best with the original chrome border, especially on a black cl. The little accents of chrome really make the car tasteful.

 

uhh his CL is a 2003 model, they dont have the front grille chrome border, other ways you can tell is that his headlights are blacked out and i'm sure his taillights have a clear top to them

 

looks so good i might try it with my first gen...

 

 

^^^^this is exactly what I want...hawt!!!!

 

i just got my preforated sheet metal today... i may post some pics tommorow if i finish...

if anyone in NY queens area wants some i'll have a peice left

 

Bought mine from ST2000 too

 

Nice car man! How did u get ur lights whited out like that ?

 

They come stock like that
