The stainless mesh brings out the RMM grille better I think?

I'm not a fan of either one... think the mesh is a bit too tight (may just be the angle of the pictures though). I prefer something a little more open.

I've got a sheet of stuff I used for my grill and other openings, but no way to cut it. If you were local I'd offer you some (if you brought some snips over).

Had mine powdercoated with a black pearl / black chrome finish

Pic during prep


From some angles, the stuff I got is a lot more transparent but straight on it's visible (mesh over intercooler opening).

Hey Dave,

That mesh is real nice. It seems a bit thicker than the regular mesh too. It must be a PITA to cut by looking at it. I wish I was closer to you otherwise I would definitely take you up on that offer. Sent you PM...
