Posted By: Goonz SVT ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - 12/19/05 10:25 PM
as the title states, Stazi has bought the mesh, its more of the Gen I but flatened so we'll call it the Gen 1.5

to better describe it, I'll take stazi's quote from the interest thread

Originally posted by Stazi:
Actually it's the same Gen I Goonz, but flattened so it looks nicer. So effectively it's Gen 1.5 (same size opening as Gen I, but flat like Gen II).

Also I got it for cheaper than usual so I'm passing on the savings and dropping the price down to $85 (from the $100 I posted before) for a full SVT set - that should motivate some of you guys.

If you're still in post your names.

I am ready to start accepting your ovals along with payment - so if you're ready, PM me and I'll give you the address to send your ovals too.




as for installation the Gen II was so thick that people complained it was too stiff and it made it a pain to install. This is thinner and more flexible.

lets get the list started..

Yes, anyone picking up from me gets an additional $10 off. Of course you STILL need to drop off your oval to me and give me a few days to mod it.

how about like next tuesday or something... i've got kind of a busy week. like all day every day working.

(apparently i got the [censored] end of the stick on requesting days off... they not only scheduled my on the days i DID request off - wednesday and friday [yea, not even Xmas eve requested off...] but they actually DID give the other bartenders the days they requested off, so i'm stuck with overtime... what [censored] i work for...)

Hey Stazi if you want to test-fit this new mesh on someone's car and snap picsI can come by - you already modded my oval for the Gen II so it should just be a matter of unscrewing and sliding the new mesh in right?

Stazi you already modded my oval for Gen II - so would the price be lower for me to just pick up the 3 pieces?
Posted By: Stazi Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 12/31/05 01:09 AM
$65 for just the mesh (i.e. you install it into your oval grill).

Damnit I might have to get in on this! Stazi you steal all my money!
Posted By: Tourige Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 12/31/05 09:09 AM
What do you do to the Oval to make the mesh work? Is it possible for average joe to do it?
Posted By: Stazi Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 12/31/05 01:29 PM
You have to cut it apart carefully (so you can rejoin it after you''re done) - this plastic is very brittle and unforgiving to mistakes. Then you remove all the old plastic mesh by cutting it out and sanding it down then you trim the new mesh to fit and sandwhich it between the two halves of the grill, then join the two halves back together. I have seen some people do it themselves. Some do it well, the others - well, you can see they f'ed it up bad. Y2KSVT gave up after trying to do it himself and ende up sending it to me.

I suggest you all send your ovals to Stazi. I had mine done by him since I didn't want to mess mine up and it came out perfect.

But......I took the oval apart to paint the oval ring black, and even just putting the oval back together how he had it, I screwed it up a little bit. The plastic is too fragile.
Posted By: Goonz SVT Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 12/31/05 05:15 PM
Stazi any tips for installing the lower mesh and rear?
Posted By: Stazi Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 01/01/06 01:16 AM
Yes, you line it up and starting from the middle you look where the center tabs touch the mesh. Snip the mesh that is blocking in the top two spots first to make a window for the tabs to go into, and ten push it onto the tabs a little, then look at the bottom two center tabs touch and do the same, then move outwards on both sides, etc. once all tabs are in the mesh, press the mesh forward to but up against the bumper and then take you stock clips form the plastic grills and squeeze them a bit to grip the tabs ad push them on the secure the mesh in place. You'll understand it better when you get the mesh in your hands and put it up against the opening and the tabs. I'll do the windows on the back piece for everyone and then you'll see how to do the front lower piece.

stazu just let me know when would be a good day for me to drive up there for you to do my grill, and i'll take the rest home. mondays or tuesdays would work best for me, as those are my days off work, but go by your schedule first.

I'm an idiot. I had my home zip in the original post.
How are these if the cars used in the winter? I have the 1st style grills on my car but don't drive it in the winter. If I decide to purchase another one for a car drove year round will it stay in tact and not rust up?
Posted By: Stazi Re: ***STAZI MESH GEN 1.5 GB*** - Picture - 01/04/06 01:27 PM
They're Aluminum - they don't rust. Aluminum develops an oxide on it which makes them look a little dull, but that's about it.

If you paint these with a clear coat, they'll never dull.

I actually liked my kit more once it dulled a little bit. It took away from the orginal "bling" effect it gave.

Noth Pole SVT - I got your grill today. The tabs were both broken off the top. One was in the box, the other....who knows. I'll try and reglue the one that broke off but you'll have to use gutter strapping to replace the one that went AWOL.


NOTE: For other people that are sending me their grill, please package it appropriately so that the tabs cannot be broken off during shipping.
stazi- got the mesh the other day...looks good. Ill be installing in the srping. Thanks!

All 9 sets are sold now. If there is enough interest (i.e. another 9 buyers, I will start another GB, same price/deal/etc. Just let me know if you REALLY want a set.


North Pole SVT and R_G's kits are being mailed out today.
1.)chrisilversvt(svt set)

i want a set for sure.....would that be $65 shipped if i did my grill myself???i'm going to paint it anyway...
I was a part of the stazi mesh group buy about a month ago and i was planning on finally installing the mesh since the temp is staying above zero for once. I read the post where stazi explained how to install this mesh but i am still lost. I just need a couple things clarified. Did you guys completely remove the stock mesh to begin with? Did you remove the front bumper? Is the new stazi mesh suppose to just clip into where the old stock mesh was? Any tips on how to complete this and the rear mesh would be great!!

Yes, remove the clips and take the mesh out.

Originally posted by NorthPole SVT:

There is no need for this, just get under your car and remove the splash guard.

Yes, you may have to make slight modifications to the mesh itself to make it fit though.
