Yes, please give us the company/website who has that mesh available. I was about to order some woven mesh, but I seen this and would like to check it out.

I have a sheet of the same stuff and agree that it sticks out, but what I did was made a recession for the lincoln emblem so that it sits almost flush with the grille. I would take a pic of it, but it got run over in the garage.....it fell of the shelf it was on when I was backin my dads chevelle out of the garage and I ran it over....so I have to purchase a new sheet....and grille.....LOL. :Beer

Man you can get that mesh for dirt cheap from Fozzios metal works here in NJ. I bought my ss mesh for the TerminVIIIor grill for $22.00 for a 3ft x 4ft section.

Geno, Could I pay you to make me one of those grilles ? I want one soo damn bad, but don't want to spend all that time making one. LOL.
If you were to do one for me, custom just like yours... How much would you want for a job like that ?
The stock black grill is fine for me right now, but it would look soo HOT along with the Cobra hood.

You would have to call my paint Guy and see if he wants to do another one or not. This one took him ALL day.

That mesh is different than what is on the other grille. This grille has the diamond mesh. The other one has the woven. Woven mesh, for some reason, is more expensive than the diamond mesh. I know because I'm working to introduce an upper and lower mesh grille for the LS.
However, that grille your paint guy did looks great!
