Default Looking for Honeycomb Material

I am getting an Evolution bumper but want to fit the openings with a honeycomb grill material. I am thinking of something like GTO's use, not tiny cells, maybe 1/2". I am flexible on the material, aluminum, plastic, nylon... Anyone know of a source?

I thought Brent was just vinyl. I have gotten several vinyl pieces from him, super guy to deal with. I think he owned my wheels at one time.

are those gotti rims?

anyway, google- "perforated hexagon" and it should bring up a bunch of companies who sells sheets of metal, with different sizes and shapes, perforated. Sucky thing is, I can't find one place that displays pricing and min. qty, when buying this stuff. I'de imagine they rape most people who only want 1 sheet
Here's one company that makes 1/4" and 1/2" hexagon patterns.

Great find onyx! That 1/2" hex looks great! I found a cool option, the shopping cart from my local Lowe's DIY store has hexagonal grids for sides. They have 2 styles of cart, but one has a nice size hex. I am going to try to buy one with bad wheels off my local Lowe's and hack the sides off it. My only worry is keeping paint on it. I wish they were made in black rather than red. I'll have a buddy see if he can powdercoat without melting it. He did an intake, so maybe...

Good eye on the Gotti's. How are you familiar with them? I have only seen one other photo of them on an F-Body, and it was on Brent Franker's site. http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/DSCF0043.JPG I like them for 2 reasons, they are pretty similiar to the Heritage TA's Hamanns and I got them for a decent price!
