so'cal satoshi makers, where do you buy your mesh?

today i went out and bought all the supplies needed to turn my grill into a satoshi grill. but nobody had the right mesh. homedepot only had chicken wire and dry-walling mesh. same with ace hardware, i went to TWO different mexican sheet metal shops and either they really didn't have any or they just didn't want to be helpful. i was about to try a refrigeration place for the A/C vent material but as i pulled up the guy said they were closed.

oh and one more thing, should i try and match the metal insert in the hood scoop or the two triangles on both ends of the grill?

thanks in advanced for your input!

I am also looking for the same exact thing in socal. bump!

 

As far as in your area I wouldn't know since I'm in Hawaii but I came across this site http://www.customcargrills.com/

They have a wide variety of Mesh to use and different sizes, options for powder coated black. I have heard a lot of people have gone through them. Shipping and price is very reasonable too

 

^^^X2 That is where i git mine from.

 

thanks guys! i started my satoshi on saturday. i was hoping to be done yesterday but its been raining and i don't have a garage tow work in. ):

 

im trying this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360200477915&viewitem= offered them 15 bucks and it got accepted. came out to like 22 dollars and some change. just my two cents.

 

Thats where I got mine.

 

ill try to post pics but i got my powdercoated "perforated" steel grill on customcargrills.com. looks fantastic.

if your wondering i line-x'd the surround. love the grill. my pride and joy.

total cost of everything came to be about $175

 

this is probably a stupid question but i am assuming that the 16x48 size is the one for the center piece of the grill?
