[QUOTE=Sevenevez;8374233]i double mesh'd mine. heard that people were saying the factory mesh you could too easily see through. so i used cheap gutter guard from the hardware store and had 2 layers.

ok So I got a bit bored today and decided to have a crack at trying to curve flat bar sideways and it actually came out very well. I tried to get pic of what it would look like but its impossible to try and hold 5 bars in position and take a pic but you get the idea.

I used "perforated" mesh from customcargrills on eBay in my grill and kit, the stuff pictured above looks more like a diamond pattern but they've got a variety of patterns and can be purchased powdercoated black. Sturdy, quality stuff, good finish, worth the extra money over chicken wire type stuff IMO.

Ok so today I put slots into my centre bar with a slight tilt down. Tomorrow I will put small slots into the across bars so where they meet is flush and locked into place. Next from the back ill space the bars and weld them to a hidden bar that runs down the side on the inside to keep everything in place. Ill send the surround off tomorrow to be wrapped and while that's happening ill polish the slats.
