Silver Mesh Install

Who knows how to do the silver mesh conversion for front and rear bumpers?

I have not been able to find silver mesh that is taller than 12" -- the opening in the front bumper is 12" tall which means the mesh needs to be at least 13" tall.

What should I use to secure it to the bumper? I thought about using epoxy and/or tie wraps.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I prefer my dead insects ( esp . the swarms of crickets on Mt Hamilton ) wedged out of sight in the cooling grids of the inset radiators.
