$875 to install stainless mesh. Granted, it is woven, top of the line, stuff, but that is a lot of dollars for mesh IMHO. The labor is the issue.....105/hr at their shop (some of their mechanics are Rolex/LeMans/etc. level....so to me well worth it...anyway....I had this idea:


Get top of the line mesh, cut to fit and put a rim of some sort of ruber edge material on it.

Zip tie it to the OEM plastic from the front (take a look at this month's excellence, there is a 930 turbo DD in the back that has a loose mesh in front.....looks find to me to be honest).

Drive and enjoy the 600 dollars or more still in the pocket.


Source of the mesh would be: customcargrills.com

I figure I could under cut just a tiny bit to avoid scraping the paint....say 1cm or less all the way around.

Do the OEM grill slats snap in and out of the bumper while it is still on the car? That would be a wonderful thing.....
