Looks very nice.
Looks like aluminum gutter mesh. They sell it for screen doors also. The stuff for the screen doors has no sharp edges and is a bit stiffer, meant to keep kids from putting their hands through the glass.

Are there people here that are interested in Mesh like this cut to size for the back of their grills??

Or would people be more interested in the stock looking mesh that is behind the grills already??

I think everyone want's their own unique look. Some plain black mesh down low under the bumper might be good to protect the radiator.

I really like the chromed "basket weave" grille material the new Jaguars have. It would look really nice if it could be pressed into a 3D shape to come up more flush with the front, instead of a flat sheet across the back. Might be time to get out the rubber mallet and play. I figure as long as I don't screw up the grille frame so the original parts won't go back in, worst I could do is waste some material and make a really ugly grille.

Don't laugh, but I was goung to make a wooden form the shape I wanted and beat the aluminum into shape and still use the original chrome surround. The sheatmetal in that area of my car is not too pretty, so best to cover.

Just wait for the $3.00 lawn edging front spoiler project.

Dave, How did you import the picture of the Jaguar to your post?
Alvin, How did you put a link on your post? I want to post either a picture or a link, and have no idea how to.
Thanks, Howard

When you post a reply or start a new topic right below the Subject line box there are quite a few things you can do. Img is for images. You click on Img and it places an opening tag <img> . You must have your picture or pictures hosted some where that is accessible from the web. Like this---
http://www.311s.org/PublicPics/your-picture-goes-here either a jpeg or a gif file. When you click on the Img you will notice it changes to Img* . Once you finish putting in the URL(Interent Address) of your picture you click on the Img* to insert your closing tag </img> All tags have an opening and a closing so the web browsers know what to do with them. There is also a tag for URL so you can put interent links in your messages as well. Hope that helps some.

Hey, that should slice 'n' dice some bugs. :P

Nice. Did you use one of the above suggestions or something else?
