Choosing grill mesh; can it affect cooling capabilities?

[Erich_870]

Erich,

I bought a sample grill mesh package from www.customcargrills.com for $5 plus shipping, they give you a 3" x 3" sample of all ten mesh styles that they offer plus a $5 discount code for when you make a decision and buy a sheet. I'm not sure how reasonable their prices are ($40 or so per sheet) but their sample package says something.

As far as the mesh that resembles the scoop, it's pretty close. The holes are approx. the same size, but the space in between is slightly thicker here's a pic

Just got my emblem in the mail today, here's a picture of that:


I'm planning on filling in the letters and rounding them over a bit in an attempt to "modernize" it.

I'm still waiting for my grill, so I'll get some pictures up as soon as I make some progress.

Great, thanks !

Which sample is it? Perforated Mesh?

I think you will be fine with that mesh. It is still open enough that you will have plenty of flow on the highway and the fan can suck some fresh air through there while you are wheelin. I think I may use the same stuff. Are you going to paint it black? Make sure you post some pics.

amazon also has some. its a bit thinner but its quite a bit cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Perfo.../dp/B000FN12OA
