Default vertex bumper with mesh?

Has anyone installed a wire mesh on this bumper?

Does everyone leave the 3 open holes empty?

i have a mesh covering the centre opening to protect the radiator. My windshield fluid bottle seems to holding up pretty well without one, and I do alot of highway driving.

it's a relatively fine mesh and it's black, so it's hard to see...mine is actually mounted to the body rather than on the bumper, since there wasn't really any place in particular to mount the mesh on the bumper.

where do I get a black wire mesh for cheap?

I really don't like the windshield fluid bottle being exposed, how do I hide it?

that has been suggested it to me.

other options include relocating the bottle, or cover it with a black board or something. if you're going with the authentic bumper, there's no room between the bumper vent and the bottle, unless you cut it.

quick question... the shop said that they can't put a mesh on the middle hole like you have it...

They said it has an oil thingie there... how did you mount yours?

I have mesh on the outer two holes only. A good bodyshop should be able to put mesh in the middle if you really want it? I'm keeping it open for FI in the future.
