where can i find this mesh only.

I bought mine fro ECG FABRICATION, 85 during the group buy. Solid and easy to install. http://www.ecgfabrication.com/

 

Yeah I've seen ECG Fabrication featured on an Instagram page called Tacomabeast. Thats probably your best bet

 

Literally ran across this like 4 threads down

I picked up a 3'x10' sheet of it at ramcast for less than $120.

 

OP...this is your best bet

Not the best, but def a cheaper option

 

If you're referring to my link... what is better? I'm curious to learn... sincere in my comments...so it's not read wrong

 

I got that same style but for 05-11 for $60 shipped I believe from Customcargrills.com

It worked perfect, ended up being a little big and had to trim alittle off the edges but came painted and cut to size (for the most part)

 

Do you have any left over that you were willing to part with?

 

I got mine from customcargrills.com and love it!

 

Yes just that it isn't necessarily the best option out there. Fabricators like @HomerTaco and @StealthTaco make a much more better quality product IMO

 

I have a custom car grills mesh and it fitted perfectly. It was cut to the exact size. It was also cheaper than most other options. You can't beat good quality and low prices.

 

You can probably make one of those fairly easy. Just use a Jigsaw to cut out the middle, tape around the edges to avoid splitting or cracking also to help with keeping the cuts straight. Buy some mesh to fit use hot glue to mount it in place.

 

yea that's how installed my mesh. Except I used a dremel to make the cuts, and used the screws to mount it in place along with some E6000 glue

 

Yikes.. I dunno if I would have used screws... Maybe staples.

 

The grille already has torx bit screws. They are what hold the black inner part to the grille shroud

 

Is it a thicker gauge mesh? Has anyone ever bought both to compare or are you just guessing? I'm one of the few that actually didn't use glue or screws.... I had to cut precisely to fit in between the two housing so it's sandwiched inbetween. I can take it apart and replace parts and such. It's a lot more work and tweaking since the patterned wasn't designed to be fitted that way.

 

Just guessing, the mesh that I recieved from ECG Fab was an exact fit and it was also sandwiched in between but also uses the screws for more stability. Adding the glue is more of a reinforcement but it can be mounted without it.

 

So did you have to cut / trim with the ECG Fab mesh in order to sandwich it inbetween? If not...then go with ECG since it's extra effort/time to trim to fit. If cut/trim is required...then I believe there are no differences.
