Mesh grille

Hey all I have an 08 fozie and am looking to do a quick mesh grille mod and get rid of that stock grille. Also its so I can mount my hella lights behind it.

Basically does anyone have a mesh grille or the material or know of a place where I can get this material asap since I need to do this ASAP before I drive up in Humboldt.

Thanks

I used RTV, so far its held up great. You bend the mesh over the sides and then just press in RTV to hold the connection. To be honest, cutting out the original mesh was a real pita, besides that its pretty easy. I have a ton of gutter guard left you can have for free. I'm in Sac and don't mind helping you out if you're in my area, but ill expect you to do most the work.

It's dirt cheap at Home Depot. I think I used a dremmel with a cutting wheel...and gloss black spray paint.
