Custom mesh grille inserts? I'm finishing up the appearance mods (well, the first round) on my car, and so far I've removed all the badging (kept the side molding), got the silver Grand Sport stripes (driver's side only), silver rear CAMARO letters, and removed the stock plastic grille. I really like the way it looks with a totally glossy front end, but wanted some grilles to fill in the hole on each side. Does anyone make these, or do I have to make my own? I've seen them attached to grille inserts, but I only want the grilles. Please help if possible. Thanks as always.
I fabbed mesh inserts for my SS grille...I measured the mesh size on a Z06 and ordered a sheet of stainless steel mesh from McMaster-Carr:
The McMaster part number is 9319T532 (type 316 S/S woven wire cloth, 6x6 mesh, .035" wire dia, 12x12 sheet)
Here's a pic:

It is 36" wide, but you have to specify length and it's priced accordingly.
