Man, you could probably go to Home Depot and make one for less than $42. Not that I'd want THAT on my car, but my opinion doesn't count.

That's not a mesh grille

That's a crappy mesh COVER is what it is

This is a mesh grille:

it's not a mesh grille, it's a RACE GRILLE !!

it smooths the air coming into the engine bay and stops the normal turbulence from air coming in through the stock grille so the intake can suck it in more easily and then the engine can produce more horsepower

Remember Craig, it protects your radiator! A job your stock grille is obviously incapable of

The mesh also keeps the bugs out so your car runs smoother and quieter.

I have a Mesh Grill on one of the 5.25" bays on my computer... its because I lost the bay cover and the case doesnt like any of the other ones I have.

I also made mesh inserts for the cup holders in our Durango. I was bored one day

Honestly probably more than you think..

I do a real deal job complete with fabricating plastic filler pieces for the underside of the upper grille bar so the mesh sits flush all around and so that the frame looks like it came from the factory that way.. Everyone thinks you can do it for 20 bucks and an hours time (which you CAN but then again the discrepency in quality is vast).. mine honestly take me 2 weeks

Materials alone cost me $50 ish and once you add in money for my troubles and shipping..well you get the idea
