Home Depot sells CustomAuto MESH for $5.
nice find.
i dont see why people call it rice because they want to pay for overpriced aluminum which is coming from the same exact aluminum cutting shop.
(unless your a weirdo and want to list what brand mesh you used in your magazine feature.... lol)

I'll call it rice because that's what it will look like in a short amount of time when it starts to sag and lose shape. In fact, in that before/after shot it looks like it already is. It's cheap, I'll give it that, but this is just a fair warning to anyone wanting to use that stuff.

I wasnt trying to "CHEAP" or "RICE" out when I found this alternative, I just thought I would post it for the sake of the guys who are actually considering purchasing the exact same stuff from Custom Auto Mesh for a much higher price. As for the quality of this stuff, it's not full plastic , it's actually rubberized plastic, so it's really solid and I doubt it would flake out and break apart like some of you guys are saying. And even if it did fall apart in a short time I would at least feel better that I only paid $5 for it as opposed to $50.
sintaxeror I'll get the SKU # on my next visit to Home Depot, but it might be different for you guys since I'm up here in Canada. But for now you can go to the gutter aisle and it should be there, if not then try a different HD, some have it some dont
myehrick09 I didn't use this mesh with my front bumper, sit already came with metal mesh fitted on, I just used it on my grille and my hood. The chicken wire that my gialla grille came with was already rock chipped and faded after only a month of being painted, since I put this on I don't think I'll be having the same problem.

I think 6 inches is the only size I'm not sure since I didn't look for anything else. The 6 inches is enough to fit pretty much any of the G35 bumpers hoods and grilles though, I don't know all the 350Z body kits but I think it should still be enough for most of them. Here's some more pictures I took a minute ago for a closer look.






its not rice. its good for the price and lookis like the stuff that came with my grill that i bought from a forum sponsor. for all you who say its cheap and rice stfu and keep wasting money on stuff that you think is good just because it costs alot.
