mesh in grill??

i have an 89 rolla LE "loaded" and i was wondering if anyone knows if cutting out the lines in the grill and putting in a bug screen type of mesh (cheaper) would look just as good ad the regular "expensive mesh"????

bah.

go to Home Depot or a similar hardware store, and get gutter mesh.. it's cheaper, and it's basically the same stuff.

Gutter mesh

Don't forget the zip ties (or twisty ties).

Get metal gutter guard in a sheet. I've heard that some people use bondo to stick it to the car/grill. You can also hammer it so it's flat - it's more noticeable that way because if you don't it looks like it's black. I personally like the black look.

Make sure you get gutter mesh made from stainless or galvanized steel so it won't rust. Most gutter mesh is galvanized, but double check.
