ok, the mesh is here.
but its not cut yet, that will be happening early next week.
i am going to post what i have for names and stuff.
and all i need you guys to do is let me know if i have made a mistake.
i dont want this post to get out of hand.
alot of questions were asked and answered in the interest check post.
just to clarify:
an SVT set is three pieces of mesh, one piece big enough to do the grill and one piece for each bumper.
the bumper pieces will be rough cut to size and have slots cut out so they can be slid right onto the factory mounting tabs.
$50 shipped.
SE set: 2 pieces of mesh.
one for the grill and one for the lower bumper roughly cut to size.
i DO NOT know how this can be mounted to the bumper easily.
i need to get a closer look at an SE bumper to determine the proper size to cut the mesh.
but as for mounting, that will be left up to you.
i suppose it could be epoxied to the back of the bumper or fiberglassed.
$40 shipped.
GRILL: 1 piece of mesh.
1 piece for the grill
$30 shipped

i also have had a few people make special requests.
if you are one of these people please pm me with the details again and title your pm "Elky Mesh Special Request"
i will start cutting mesh as soon as i can.
so please let me know if the info i have above is wrong.
Elky I would like the SE 2 peice set of course
and I would be willing to let you use my car to figure out how to mount the lower grill at your meet if you like
Elky, I have a question for mounting SVT front bumper mesh:
When i bought my SVT there was no front bumper mesh at all..just a empty opening. There are the tabs but no clips. I realize i can use binder clips (the things you squeeze together and it opens the other side..used for pinching larege amounts of 8x11 paper together etc.) as a replacement. However, the way you cut the mesh to fit the tabs will it work using these kind of clips. Im assuming so, just dont want to find out the hard way.
thanks,
-justin
Could you potentially mention:
Payment methods
Shipping turnaround time (UPS ground, FEDEX ground, USPS?)
Potential painting process for those who want it black
Thanks man, my car owes you $50.00 because its fugly right now with missing front grill/back grill and has an SE grill...gross (no offense to SE owners)
2 things:
1. Where do I send money?
2. Whats christines special request?
It's a secret Doug.
doh!
me musa be an idjot.
i forgot to mention payments.
haha
i prefer paypal but NO CREDIT CARDS through paypal.
oh yeah, did i mention no credit cards?
just making sure.
i will also take money orders.
once i recieve a payment, i will send out the mesh.
as for how it is shipped...
i roll it and put it into a 12"x12"x6" box.
don't worry, itis aluminum, you can unroll it and straighten out any waves it might have in it by bending it slightly in the opposite direction of the bend.
the mesh is being sent by USPS 2-day priority mail.
paypal payments to elky83atcomcast.net
money orders can be sent to

mygame...
those should work fine.
the mesh is cut so it slides snuggly over the factory bumper tabs. the factory insert just helps secure it.
you could use the binder clips alone, or buy a new insert and cut out the criss-cross and use it to secure the mesh.
as for painting options, as long as you clean all the oil off and prime and paint with a decent paint, you should be ok.
Rear bumper mesh for me please...
Elky,
Please don't kill me, but is it too late to get in on this group buy.
It's no biggie, but I would be interested in the 3 piece SVT mesh.

You might be able to, just PM him. Hell, its more money for him!

Ohhh and Btw its @ not At foolie
I have a question on the Elky mesh regarding a SVT
Does anyone think or has anyone found that the mesh for the front lower bumper restricts the airflow to the radiator?
i forgot to mention..when you paypal me, please include what set you want and your CEG screenname
2 people have paid already and they did just that, thank you.
i will try to get your mesh out to you starting the beginning of the week.
Pudmonkey, i will add you to the list.
SQL, i should have enough mesh to include you.
also, this mesh is 60% open so there is no prblem with airflow

received your PM..thanks for the update.
p.s. all 3 parts of the mesh will still be same same size though right i.e. they will all match and are all the same size, same quality as the traditional Elky mesh has been in the past?
not exactly.
previously, i sent out 2 pieces of mesh and you had to cut it to fit.
this time you get 3 pieces.
one for the front bumper, it is a little oversized and has been cut so it should slide right over the factory tabs on your bumper.
same with the rear bumper.
the pices for the front grill has to be cut to fit though.
Cool.
Let me know when you are ready for me to mail you the part for my special request.

Hey Elky, I have a bank account tied to my account (Wells Fargo) but I think you will be hit with the charge no matter what. Can you accept CC payments with a little extra on top to make up for the fee?
Or do you want me to try and send payment through Paypal thats attached to my Bank account? Thanks
Elky,
My money order will be sent out tomorrow morning.

i dont have a business account through paypal, so i cant accept credit card payments.
a payment directly from your bank account with payapl will work fine.
Mikey Boy...you will have to sit tight for the moment.
i have just enough mesh to cover the original people on my list. so if anyone backs out or something i shoul dbe able to cover you.
in about a week or so i am going to officially "close" the group buy to the original list.
if anyone on that list hasn't paid up i will have extra
Where is my mesh!?
no worries man.
i was a little under the weather this weekend, i didnt get anything done that i wanted to.
i will be cutting up your mesh, and the other SE sets tomorrow night and making a special trip to the post office wednesday morning to send them out, along with a couple more SVT sets.
so hold on to your panties mister!

I sent a CC payment by accident..paypal automatically funds my payments by CC and I forgot to add my bank account. Its sitting as "unclaimed" right now and if you can just hit the 'deny' button then it gets sent back to my card and I can get a M.O. out. Please let me know when you get this or return the CC payment.
Once again sorry man!
you can retract the payment on your end. ive done it before.
Is there anyway for me to get the Svt mesh kit If so email me at
octkain@yahoo.com I deff want one of these kits for my new 00 svt.

I love it man, thanks again for takeing this Gb on.
mine came today. this stuff looks 10x better in person! thanks again elky! i love when GBs go smoothly
Alright Elky, I got the M.O. right next to me, gonna priority to your house Monday morning, quite possibly Wed. you will get it!!
got it installed. the front is kind of a PITA. looks hot though! thanks again!
what do you mean by the front?
the grill or the bumper?
the bumper. putting the new mesh in was easy, it was taking out the stock stuff that gave me trouble for some reason. it just wouldnt co-operate. having it precut made reinstallation a breeze. regardless, it was well worth it.
going out tomorrow morning will be:

LUCA, i have started your project and should be able to ship it out to you wednesday.
Thanks Mike.
hey, i know i'm way late on this, but i was wondering whats the chances i could get some of this mesh?
give me until next week to see if i have enough to cover the extra people that want mesh.
Thanks Mike!
Hey Elky:
Just got confirmation that my Check was received on Apr. 22nd
Do you have any idea of turn around time?
Thanks!
All installed. Looks great!
Thanks again.
I hope your hands have healed!

If there is enough to go around, I'd love a set for my car
oh ya, I would love to get some of this stuff. if you don't have any left I'll have to try and find something that works almost as well, which I kinda doubt I will.
hope you've got extra

your mesh will either go out today or tomoor, depending on whether or not i can get to the post office.
as for extra...
it looks like i will have 5 SVT sets left over.
but... i have to offer them up to the people who asked first.
when i get home later tonight i will put up a list of people who asked before, in the order they asked.

Mike just want to double check that I still have a set for my SE for the meet on the 7th
yes brian, your SE set is in my garage.
post, i got your PM, but like i stated earlier, i have a few more people who were asked first.
i will post that list in a little while.
here is the list.
it is in order of who asked first.
if you are on the list and you still want some it, let me know and i will hold it for you.
if within a few days people on the list dont respond i will move onto the next person.

Mikeyboy
those are the first 5.
if you want it, let me know.
normich99se, sorry, but the svt sets i have left wont do you any good as they are cut for the SVT bumpers.
Sooo, whens the next group buy for the mesh gonna be? It's obvious there is still a demand for it.
haha
yes there is.
it most likely wont happen for a little while.
but i think i might try again during the summer.
Elky, I don't care if they're cut for the SVT, I mostly just want some more mesh around, I like this stuff. I already have the grill done, this would go either in the vents of my CF extractor hood or possibly be trimmed and used on another vehicle. It's not a huge deal for me though.
well then, thats entirely up to you.
you were on the original want list, so i technically should offer it to you first.
its your call.
Hey Elky i asked you about an svt set couple weeks back and my name was not on that list. Am i still able to get one if so email me at
Octkain@yahoo.com and ill send you a check asap.
thx
yes you did. but you asked after mikey boy, so i have to offer it to him first.
you are the next one on the list after him.
Wow that stuff is hot. I hope you do another GB, during the summer, when everyone gets a little more money after school lets out.
Elky, I'll pass since I already have the mesh in my grill and there are plenty of others who don't. Hopefully you'll do another buy a little later. Thanks for the offer.

You will have to buy 2 pieces of gutter guard, and then somehow get the seam between them hidden. I haven't done it yet... I might just wait untill Elky does another GB. His mesh looks much better than the gutter guard. And mine is starting to fade after not even a year from salt damage.

since you are on the list mike, i can bring your mesh out with me.
you are the best. i owe you one
Elky, are you all out now? If not, I'd like to squeeze in.
Originally posted by Matty K:

Read the previous posts man. This group buy is done. He has no more sets left to sell. You'll have to wait until summer for another group buy.
actually there are a few sets left.
some people on the list still haven't paid up yet, and they may lose their spots if they don't pay up soon
A few that are reserved and a waiting list for the mesh of those who don't pay. So if about 5-6 people decide against it (could be more) then he might have the opportunity.
how many people are in line for the mesh if those few people dont end up paying?
thanks elky!
Elky i sent payment out this morning for the svt mesh kit. You should recieve it by end of week. Thx again man.
