What are some good online places to get replacement mesh for the SVT bumper inserts? I need some nice heavy durable stuff, any pics to go along with your recomendations?

go ElKy .... He's done a bunch of mesh mods. Pics available from him; the mesh looks good IMO.

You can get the mesh @ Metal Supermarkets I believe it is refered to as perferated stainless steel also availale in aluminium. Comes in many guages of thickness and they will cut any size that you need. I am unsure of the price though.

Expanded steel or aluminum is what you need. The "Elky" grille is aluminum that has a bunch of ovals punched in it.

Home Depot actually has several choices. Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but they've got a few selections, and pretty inexpensive too. You'll just have to fit them yourself.

I don't understand the mesh appeal.. The SVT honeycomb design seems great to me.

Cheap alternatives are gutter guard and drywall mesh.

Some of the grills you see on here seem to disrupt the vehicle's appearance. But an advantage to the aftermarket grill might be endurance, the stock one seems like it might wear easier.
