Ok i finally got to order some more material.
so heres the breakdown...
What i sell is pieces of mesh, i dont precut them to fit the car.
the SVT kit consists of 2 pieces of mesh 6" x 60"
that is enough for all three grills. one piece does the lower front grill and the other does the upper front oval and rear grill.
the non SVT kit is a piece 6" x 30"
that is enough for the oval grill.
all that is required for you to do is cut it to fit and install. Everyone that has bought this in the past has not had a problem installing it.
Pricing:
SVT Kit: $45 shipped
Non SVT Kit: $30 Shipped
*as an option this time i am going to offer front oval grill installation*
If you want me to install the mesh in your oval grill i will.
for $25 on top of the price of the mesh, if you ship me your grill, i will install the mesh and ship the grill back along with the rest of the mesh from your order.
I ordered enough mesh for 18 complete SVT's
so speak up.
once it all spoken for the Group buy is over.
I accept Paypal and money orders.
for paypal payments, i DO NOT accept credit card payments.
i dont have a business account and dont want one, and i do not want to pay the stupid charge for accepting credit card payments.
so please NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS!
I can vouch for the "Elky Mesh".
No rusting, durable, and looks sharp.
I am in of course. When do you want the money and how soon can I get it
i wont have the material until monday.
then i have to cut it into strips.
then i have to package it.
which reminds me, i have to buy boxes.
as for shipping, i used to ship it flay in 5 foot long packages. lots of people were complaining that they recieved it bent.
so this time i am going to ship it rolled in a rectangular box. it comes to me rolled and is easily straightened (its only aluminum)
this will reduce teh risk of recieving material that is creased and otherwise useless.
I dont want to accept payment until i have the material.
so i am thinking monday or tuesday.
ok?
i also ship it 2 day priority, so once i get it cut up and packaged and shipped, you should have it two days later.
Can you post a pic......What does this stuff look like
i wish i could, but comcast completely fugged up my webspace and i cant find my pics.
i will try to get some one else to post pics for me
*forgot to mention that al lyou need for installation tools is a dremel with cut off wheels.*
ok, i am gone for the weekend.i will be back monday to check up and answer more questions.
I will vouch that the Elky mesh is great stuff. Those pics were taken after a full Michigan winter including road salt, ice and snow.
ok i jsut aquired a rear svt bumper with no lower grill, would i be able to get the grill you sell jsut for the rear bumper?
Would the svt kit be enough for the "c27 kit" from kaotic?
i need just one strip/sheet, just to do my bottom grill, I got in on your group buy last time, and i fugged up the lower grill, and id like to do it again, Maybee if there some left over or someone else just wants one sheet, you could sell me the left over, im not in a big hurry so i could wait till the end of the group buy, whatevers works for you.
YUS! I am SO down man....
I'm Back...
i am changing the price of the non-SVT kit to $25 shipped.
NOS...I have a piece laying around that i can sell you for the rear, hows $20 shipped sound?
Kremit..i have no clue if what i sell as an SVT kit will fit. if the openings are bigger than the stock openings (which i assume they are) then, no, it wont work. i would have to get measurements of the openings in order to figure out the size needed, etc.
Dub...i will sell you the one piece you want for $30 shipped.
the material hasnt arrived yet, but should be here by this afternoon.
i will start taking payments once i have the material in hand and cut up, so it is looking like that will be around wednesday.
Kim and SVTmike..thanks for posting pics.
so far...

Yeah I'm in I'm getting tired of this gutter guard......
That looks really good!!! count me in!!! How can I pay!!!
ok, the mesh is in.
i will start cutting it and packaging it tonight.
my paypal address is:
elky83 @ Comcast.net
*Remove the spaces.
*NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS!
if you want to mail me a money order, send me a PM and i will give you the address.
Also forgot to mention.
How ever you pay, please include your CEG screen name somewhere.
the first payment is in, i am assuming it it SVTCT due to your address.
am i right?
sent
how flexible is the stuff or is it pretty rigid....I was planning to clear coat some gutter guard and put that on, but Im considering the elky
the mesh is .060" thick aluminum.
it is fairly flexible, but very strong.
it is being sent rolled up in a 12" square box.
that is how it comes to me.
it will be wavy, but is very easy to straighten.
i have straightened out pieces that were folded over on themselves and you couldnt tell where the fold was.
last year while on the highway something hit my lower gril so hard i felt it through the steering wheel. the mesh dented in about 3/4". i just pulled and massaged it and now its back to normal. whateve hit my grill would have definitly broken the factory mesh.

yeah, that's me. I also sent an email.
BTW did my Paypal gothrough OK? I don't remember seeing "uncleared" before. (when paying by bank account)
PAID!! My rear mesh got damaged, That is one reason I decided to go with the Elky Mesh!!!
shipped out mesh to
thejms
fastrussman
it went out 2-day priority.
like i stated before i am packaging int differently than before.
now it is coming rolled in a 1-ft square box.
so when you get it becareful taking it out of the box, cuz once its out it is going to want to unwind.
the edges are VERY SHARP!!
the oil in the mesh is the cutting oil used in manufacturing.
you can easily clean it off with simple green or something like that.
or just wipe it off with a rag.
you will notice there is a good side and a bad side.
the good side is the one you can run your hand or a rag a cross and it feels smooth.
make sure you moount that side facing out.
if you want i can email you some pics and a crappy how to for installation.
if you want them, PM me your email addy and i will send them to you.
thanks again guys!
i am if its not too late......let me know where to send
hehe found another pic of the mesh.
this is my car.
Thanks Elky!!! I can't wait to get home and install it!!! It'll be about two weeks!! Damn your car looks beautiful!!!
Elky, Is it to late to get in on the mesh? I would want the SVT kit.
Let me know,
Scott
its not too late to get in on it.

yours were all sent out last week or earlier.
did you get my payment yet elky?
ryan
not yet, but i havent gotten my mail yet.
so it coul be sitting at my house.
and if it is your mesh will go out with the others.
thanks elky, lemme know when you get it if you dont mind.
ryan
no prob.
nick..dont worry about it being rolled up. if you gently bend it in the opposite direction it is bent now you can easily straighten it out.
i have taken creases out of this stuff before.
send me some pics once its on.
I got mine, thanks alot Elky, already got 2/3 installed
I need the how to. I searched and I couldnt find it. Do you definatly need a dremil to do this? How much to dremils costand where could I get one? Maybe I will go and buy one tomorrow and do it up.
I used this for my first install i can also email you a rough write-up that i did a while ago.
i dremel with cutoff wheels is the easiest way
especially when it comes to cutting out the factory plastic mesh out.
i highly recommend getting one.
I got my mesh Elky.
What exactly is the cutoff wheel for the dremel??
there are a couple of types
the re-enforced ones
and the thinner ones.
they both work except the thinner ones break easier.
you can get them anywhere that sells dremels.

yea, the thin ones break off, nearly slicing a customer and sticking into installers garage doors!!!
its great stuff btw.....
d
got the oval installed all good....but
I am still having a hard time with the bottom ones, I have both inserts out and I was looking at it, I dont want to fug up because there is enought for no mistakes.....can someone PLEASE gimme a good break down on how to install these? I want them to look good. Do you just cut it big enough to fit around the opening with about an inch lap over? What about the tabs from the original install? Do you reuse the insert w/ the mesh cut out? do you just cut out a small hole to fit the tab through or do you cut out a whole slit?
hehe
actually it was a reinforced one that almost killed me and stuck into my garage door!!!
anywho...
install of the lowers is a lot easier than the oval
first while the factory insert is intact, lay my mesh over it.
use a couple piees of wireto hold the mesh in place so it doesnt move while you mark it.
mark where the tabs in the bumper will pass thru.
you will mosy likely only have to cut out one vertical piece between two ovals for every mounting point.
do not cut too much, you can always cut more if the tab in the bumper doesnt fit through.
now you can trim away the excess. while the elky mesh is on teh factory mesh you can see where it will cover. i recommend leaving at least an inch all the way around. it can be bent over the bumper after its installed.
once you have that trimmed you can take it off the factory mesh.
now comes the time to get covered in more black plastic.
cut out the criss cross pattern out of the factory mesh.
leavin only the border and the tabs that match up to the tabs on the bumper. when you are done it will be very flimsy, so be careful
you will also have to trim down some of the front of the border where it will be pushing against the elky mesh.
remember take off less now cuz you can always take off more later.
you can now slide the elky msh onto your bumper.
the bumper is eurathane so it will flex where you need it to
and the aluminum is easy to flatten if it bends.
once it is fluch to the opening youcan now put the factory insert back on.
use the factory clips to hold it in place.
Viola!
you are done!!
hope that helps
oh yeah, the less you cut out of the elky mesh for the tabs the better off you are, the mesh will grab ontothe tabs and help hold it in place.
Hey Elky,
Do you still got any of this stuff left?
If so, does the SVT kit come with enough to do the upper oval, lower front bumper opening, AND the rear bumper opening too? If not, how much extra to get enough to go around the whole car?
If you got enough, then let me know how much, and I might go in on it too

those are exactly what the SVT kit covers.
all 3.
Received it today, thanks Elky!
hmph...so much for 2-day priority!
i sent it out friday!
I know this is a long time after the fact, but I was on vacation overseas when these shipped. I came back and picked the mesh up at the PO. Thanks Elky, you are the man.
Got it sitiing next to my ID plaques and nyceboi logo. Looks liek a weekend of modding up ahead if I also paint my oval and back strip and debadge/knauberize.
By the way, any luck getting a vendor for the metal to make your licensa plate mounts?
glad to hear you got the mesh..finaly!
haha
unfortunatly i am having a heck of a time getting he brackets done!
Wow...this post is old....found it by SEARCHING...wow
Anyways...Elky do you have any gutter guard left man? I just sold off my lower grill and have a Modified SE grill...and of course my rear grill was not there when I purchased the vehicle...so I need your mesh to fill it in.
And also...can it be painted black once I receive it? Thanks man..

Elky had some quality stuff. It surely wasn't Gutter Guard!
I don't think he has the upfront funds to do more Mesh, but I've been wanting him to get some ever since I picked up my SVT. Maybe if we keep bugging him!
I have pm'd him about this. He said he will have a group buy pretty soon.

My apologies, it was not my intention to call it gutter guard...I looks incredible, and I want it....sorry Elky.
Elky,please do another GB! Can you still get generation 1 mesh?? I'll send you funds up front for some of that!
Rod
i will be ordering the mesh within the next 2 weeks.
so keep your eyes open for the GB.
