Okay, so Santa is bringing me a Yammi lower cowl his year. I was looking for ideas for the inserts. I like the mesh, but not oppoosed to metal inserts. Are there any pros or cons to either? Any ideas or pics would be great. I found som mesh at Lowes, but not the look I wanted, any creative ideas for where to find mesh ?

I am getting a Low and Mean Cowl this year too. I'm not planning on paying the $40 bucks or so for mesh from the site but when I do find some mesh I like, I will paint it red. Should add a pretty nice element to the whole Midnight thing ya know.

I looked around forever for some honeycomb mesh that was reasonably priced but didn't have any luck. I used gutter mesh from lowes and it looks descent. Eventually I will go to the low and mean cowl. In the pics that I posted yesterday in the pics forum you can see what I am talking about.

I used aluminum auto mesh screen for grill inserts available at most auto parts stores.

I got my mesh at wal-mart. It is in the paint dept. It was a frame with the mesh made to set a bucket of paint on a ladder. I cut out the mesh, glued to the inner part of my chin cowl with black silicone. Been there about 3 or 4 years with no probs.

Yeah I think I know what your talking about. Everywhere I go now I'm looking at stuff, thinking...could I use that?

Yeah I have some of that too, thank you though. I think I want something with a denser mesh, or something totally "out of the box".

I hear what you are saying buddy! Theres http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=metal+mesh&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title

Plus there's all the automotive grilles if you can afford the $400-$700 price tag just to cut a 'scrap' outfor the cowling!

I would go to junk yard or tow lot for the car grills. Autozone has some 15" speaker mesh that appears to be black honeycomb, $15

I always liked the GMC aftermarket grills. The ones that look like a honeycomb
